hotkeycheck

Overview ¶

Command hotkeycheck claims a system-wide shortcut and reports what it got.

It is the tool to reach for when a user says "my shortcut does nothing": it prints the effective set of macOS system shortcuts this package knows about, says which of them stands in the way, shows the combination that was actually claimed, and then waits for you to press it.

go run ./cmd/hotkeycheck                 # ⌥⌘Space, the Finder's own
go run ./cmd/hotkeycheck -list           # just print what is reserved
go run ./cmd/hotkeycheck -key left -mods opt,cmd

It exits when the shortcut fires or after -wait.
