Hotkeys

Hotkeys let the app run supported actions from the keyboard.

Overview

• Each row shows an action and its assigned hotkey.
• For example, Profile Save can use [CONTROL] + [S].
• A blank hotkey means the action is available, but no keyboard shortcut is assigned.
• The app must be the active window for hotkeys to work.

Editing a hotkey

• Double-click an action row to edit its hotkey.
• You can also select an action row and click Edit.
• While editing, press the key or keys you want to use.
• Use combinations such as [CONTROL] + [S] when a single key is too easy to press by accident.
• Backspace removes the last key from the hotkey while you are editing.
• Click Save to keep the edited hotkey.
• Click Cancel to restore the hotkey that was assigned before editing.

Available actions

• The list shows the actions that can be started from a hotkey.
• Some actions are common, such as saving a profile.
• Other actions depend on which app and feature you are using.
• The available actions are controlled by the app and cannot be added from this page.

Actions and triggers

• An action is the thing the app should do.
• A hotkey is one way to start an action.
• Some apps can also start actions from other trigger sources.
• Each trigger source has its own action list.
• Not every app exposes trigger sources beyond hotkeys.
• Not every action is available from every trigger source.

Tips

• Pick hotkeys that are easy to remember.
• Avoid hotkeys that Windows or another app already uses.
• Hotkeys are not case-sensitive.
• If a text box is active, normal typing takes priority over hotkeys.
