How can I check if a Shortcut is already being used ?

[Dylan Beckett]

Hello

Just wondering - how can I check if a Shortcut is already being used in different browsers?
For example, I want to set some new shortcuts - but I might be disabling something.

You might say "well if you don't know what you're disabling you can't miss it..." - however, I might find something new that I didn't know was there - which I might like ?

Browsers I use (all for Win 11 on PC of course):

Chrome
Opera GX
UR
Vivaldi
Edge
Other Opera Browsers

I think both UR and Vivaldi are based on Chrome?


Thank you for your help

do you mean if you already add the website fav on another browser?

If we're talking about desktop shortcuts or similar, it doesn't disable anything. It's literally just a file that executes a command.

You could have a million shortcuts that all executes C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe and the OS wouldn't care or do anything outside of launching Firefox.

Chrome does not care what shortcuts you've created for FireFox.
Edge does not care about Opera.
