How to stop DAS from messing with your Hotkey Text File

[sawtooth500 33]

Have you ever edited your hotkey file in notepad, made it all nice and neat so that you can easily read it, then you load it into DAS and DAS re-arranges everything, so the next time you open it in notepad it looks like a disaster?

There is an easy way to prevent this. In file explorer, right click on your hotkey file, go to "Properties" and check "Read Only" - now you can load the file in DAS, it will still load fine but since DAS can't write to it then it can't rearrange it. But if you do want to make changes to it, you will need to remove this read only property first.
