What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you implement and manage system-wide keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) on macOS, ensuring your applications can respond to user-defined key combinations reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System-Wide Hotkey Registration: Use Carbon's RegisterEventHotKey for robust, system-wide hotkey support, even for sandboxed applications.
  • In-App Shortcuts: Leverage SwiftUI's .onKeyPress and .keyboardShortcut for shortcuts within your application's UI.
  • Event Monitoring: Utilize NSEvent.addGlobalMonitorForEvents and addLocalMonitorForEvents for broader key event detection.
  • Use Case: Create a macOS app that triggers a specific action (e.g., opening a hidden panel) when the user presses Command + Shift + K, regardless of which application is currently active.

Quick Start

Use the global-hotkeys skill to register a system-wide hotkey for Command+Shift+A.
