AMDHotkeys

Overview

AMDHotkeys is a PowerShell module for managing AMD Radeon Software hotkeys via the Windows registry. It provides functions to enable, disable, clear, and restore hotkeys.

Purpose

AMD Radeon Software was registering the Alt+Z hotkey (even after disabling hotkeys in the app), which prevented Visual Studio Code from using Alt+Z to toggle word wrap. This module provides a quick way to forcibly disable AMD Radeon Software hotkeys.

To install the AMDHotkeys module from the PowerShell Gallery, run the following command in PowerShell:

Install-Module -Name AMDHotkeys

1. Download the module files.
2. Place the AMDHotkeys folder in one of the following locations:
   • $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
