Non-us keyboard shortcut

Just installed Groupy and very impressed so far.

However, the Win+~ does not seem to work on my Danish keyboard (the ~ requires AltG+something). Any suggestions regarding the relevant combination?

For UK English the key is the key to the left of the 1 and above tab.

We are looking into making this user configurable as unfortunately every keyboard layout has a different key at that location and the key location is the important thing.

Same problem here, but I found a solution (or at least a workaround) that might work:

Using the AutoHotkey utility and this script, I was able to get the keyboard shortcut to work even on my Finnish layout:

#InstallKeybdHook

Numpad1 Up::
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Up}
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Up}
    return

Now, every time I press (or actually release) the NumberPad 1 key, Groupy will switch to the next tab.

Now, if Groupy got a similar shortcut for stepping backwards (like using Shift+Alt-Tab), switching between tabs with the keyboard would become actually useful!

The next update should have an option to configure which key you want.

Regarding going backwards.  Ctrl + Win + the defined key goes backwards.

Neil, thanks - wasn't aware of the backwards option with Ctrl modifier!

Until the new version comes out, this modified AutoHotkey workaround-script gives the feature to those that can not produce the required keyboard combination yet. (Numpad1 switches to the previous tab, Numpad3 to the next one):

#InstallKeybdHook

; Groupy, Go to previous tab
Numpad1 Up::
    Send {vkA2sc01D Down}
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Up}
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Up}
    Send {vkA2sc01D Up}
    return

; Groupy, Go to next tab
Numpad3 Up::
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Down}
    Send {vkC0sc029 Up}
    Send {vk5Bsc15B Up}
    return

As of Groupy's beta 1.02, the above scripts is probably not needed anymore. At least on my Finnish keyboard layout the new versions seems to work properly! :)
