Hotkeys (or keyboard shortcuts) are globally defined key combinations
which allows to stop
a device or return it back staying in any application using the keyboard.
You needn't to use the mouse, just press a defined key combination to:
- Stop a device
- Activate stopped, but not removed device back
- Browse a content of device drives!
It's an ideal solution for those who spend much time working with the keyboard
(programmers, technical writers). For such people it is the most convenient
and quick way to stop devices, because it let them not taking their
hands off the keyboard.
Hotkey is a combination of a modifier key (Ctrl,
Alt, Ctrl+Alt, Win and etc) and main key ("A", "B", "1", "F5" and etc).
Hotkey examples: Win+S, Ctrl+Alt+A, Alt+Shift+F5 and etc.
USB Safely Remove gives 2 handy ways of ejecting a device with a hot-key:
- Displaying the stop menu with a hot-key (default way)
You can call the stop menu by pressing a hotkey (Win+S by default).
If there are some devices in the menu, you can choose
the required one with "Up"\"Down" keys and then press "Enter" key to stop it.
Would you like to browse a device drive using the keyboard?
To do it call the menu with a hotkey, select the device and press "Ctrl+B".

"Stop immediately" technology.
When you are calling the stop menu with a hotkey, if there is only one
device in the menu it can be stopped automatically without
displaying the stop menu. To activate this behavior go to the program
options -> "General" tab and enable "Stop immediately" check box.
Besides, USB Safely Remove allows to assign a separated hotkey to stop\return
back a certain device. It may be useful if you have a device that needs being
stopped much often than other devices.
