After I have test,I found that I can't change hotkey ctrl+D to be Alt+D. How to fix this problem,Sir.

Hello,
that is correct. In Version 1.1. the Key is fixed to Ctrl. I recognized that and will update to Version 1.2 in the next week. This update will give you the feature you are searching for to choose between ctrl and alt.
If you can't wait you have to modifiy the customview code (sub addMemuItem) and the format of the Menu.txt too because at the moment the Menu.txt structure file does not include it..
