Is it possible to detect all the hotkeys registered by the OS as well as software applications currently running? Any native or managed approach on the Windows platform? I know that the RegisterHotKey function returns false if the hotkey is already registered, but what I am looking for is an approach, method, etc. that will give me a list of registered hotkeys. Looping all possible combinations with RegisterHotKey does not sound like a good idea. Anything more efficient?

One possible way is to use the Visual Studio tool Spy++.
Give this a try:
- Run the tool (for me, it's at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\spyxx_amd64.exe
) - In the menu bar, select Spy -> Log messages... (or hit Ctrl + M)
- Check All Windows in System in the Additional Windows frame
- Switch to the Messages tab
- Click the Clear All button
- Select
WM_HOTKEY
in the listbox, or check Keyboard in Message Groups (if you're OK with more potential noise) - Click the OK button
- Press the hotkey in question (Win + R, for example)
- Select the
WM_HOTKEY
line in the Messages (All Windows) window, right click, and select Properties... in the context menu - In the Message Properties dialog, click the Window Handle link (this will be the handle for the window that received the message)
- Click the Synchronize button on the Window Properties dialog. This will show the window in the main Spy++ window treeview.
- On the Window Properties dialog, select the Process tab
- Click the Process ID link. This will show you the process (In my Win + R case:
EXPLORER
)
You have to add a custom Spring Security configuration, see Spring Boot Reference Guide:
28.1 MVC Security
The default security configuration is implemented in
SecurityAutoConfiguration
andUserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
.SecurityAutoConfiguration
importsSpringBootWebSecurityConfiguration
for web security andUserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
configures authentication, which is also relevant in non-web applications. To switch off the default web application security configuration completely, you can add a bean of typeWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
(doing so does not disable theUserDetailsService
configuration or Actuator’s security).
For example:
@Configuration
public class ApplicationSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web
.ignoring()
.antMatchers("/**");
}
}
To use the configuration only for a profile add @Profile
to the class. If you want to enable it by property, add ConditionalOnProperty
to the class.

This program manages to do that but dont know how, http://diamondcs.com.au/dse/detection/hotkeys.php
The programs like these, scan the handles of all the processes,thereby revealing hot keys of all applications This could be a time consuming process
THis is an open source application that deals with the Nitty Gritty Details of all processes
