Description

Hi. I am using Karabiner and BetterTouchTool for keyboard shortcuts and sometimes the persistent panel is unintendedly opened. I have not found a particular key combination that reliably opens it but it happens clearly without the 3 key presses.
It had also happened to me with the shortcuts panel until setting the activation to pressing the command key twice.

Anyway, I'd suggest adding the option of triggering the panels with a freely chosen keyboard shortcut, to better integrate KeyClu to different scenarios.

Expected behavior

persistent panel only activate after pressing command key 3 times or with a eligible keyboard shortcut

Proposal

The idea is to display all macros defined with Keyboard Maestro if they have a shortcut.

Alternatives

KeyCue already will do the same thing for KeyboardMaestro macros.

Make app checking by itself for new releases

I've just installed the app from brew. As soon as the keyboard shortcut is executed the app crashes.

Normal behavior: When the main window is called up, moving the mouse cursor over the different shortcuts listed will cause each item to be highlighted while the cursor is hovering over it.

Wonky behavior: If, when the main window is called up, the cursor is already at a point on the screen such that the KeyClu window opening causes one of the shortcut list items to appear under the cursor arrow, then that item will be stuck permanently highlighted, even if the mouse cursor is moved away from that item or onto other items. This resets when the main window is dismissed.

Just installed KeyCluCask and when trying to use in Firefox 120.0b3, it causes KeyClu and Firefox to stop responding. Once KeyClu is force quit Firefox becomes responsive again.

Running on Sonoma 14.0 (23A344)

Double press command and hold to open KeyClu dialog and do clicking via cursor would run into 2 problems.

1. Clicking menu on KeyClu dialog to trigger shortcut key only works once, I must release command and double press and hold again to make it click-able via cursor again.
2. Clicking only accepted while cursor hovering on menu or shortcut key's TEXT label, not working on SPACE in the middle.

Hi there,
I have a problem, in keyclu setting the launch at login option is on, and even if i add keyclue to the launch at login in the system preference of my mac, after rebooting my mac it won't launch and keyclu is deleted from the list in my system preferences.
Any idea what's up ?

If there aren't a lot of entries present the window looks visually unbalanced with all the empty space in the lower half:

I think the amount of columns and window width/height should be dynamic based on the amount of content to avoid empty space.

I can't open the cheat shit by double clicking and holding "command" if i have sticky keys enabled. how can i use this app while maintaining sticky keys active?

I have a magic keyboard (the previous generation without touch ID), and have set up several hot keys with under-utilized functions keys like F16.
It seems that keyclu can detect the key press in My Shortcuts Settings, but cannot display it (just empty)

When using multiple monitors, if the panel is on a "smaller" monitor and the app is on a "larger" monitor, "sometimes," the shortcuts don't align to the panel's top, and some shortcuts are not viewable.

This is actually a bug of Firefox. Reported: 1847325

This is actually a bug of Chrome. Reported: 538872

If a scrollbar is necessary due to many items (e.g. in Xcode) the scrollbar appears with a delay causing some layout shift.
Also white lines are visible between some columns in this case (in Xcode with 4 columns it is before the third and fourth column)

Proposal

I use Freshservice for work and many of the shortcuts don't use modifier keys, but instead use 2 letters i.e. g + d, g + b, etc. and I realized when trying to record these shortcuts in KeyClu that it is currently only possible to include any combination of modifier keys with up to 1 character. It would be great if I could record these aforementioned shortcuts as well, or if it isn't possible using the recording method of inputting a shortcut, even just being able to choose to enter the shortcut as plain text instead of recording it would be a very welcome and appreciated update. Thanks as always for your incredible development!

Alternatives

Have the option to, instead of recording a shortcut, type out a given shortcut in plain text, particularly for shortcuts that require more than 1 standard key (letter, number, symbol, etc.). e.g. it is currently impossible to record a shortcut such as g + d because it is only possible to include 1 standard key in a given shortcut using the recording method of inputting a shortcut.

Proposal

Instead of making the user go into the settings to toggle which items to show, how about putting the toggles at the bottom of the window?

There's lots of room next to the Keyclu on the bottom-left for example.

I'm thinking of these toggles primarily:

• Show bookmarks
• Show user-hidden menu items
• Show inactive menu items

Maybe even (but less important):

• My shortcuts
• macOS Keyboard Shortcuts

But I'm also thinking of another toggle, which I'll create a separate Feature Request #66 for:

• Show menu items with no assigned shortcut (this is to make use of the very convenient CustomShortcuts functionality)

Thanks for considering.

Alternatives

Just have to go into the Settings to toggle things on and off.

@Anze,

I just download KeyClu and I'm loving the application thus far! Especially how simple it is to just double hit the cmd key to bring up the shortcuts.

I do have a suggestion for you to consider that well help the app's readability on large screens. Would it be possible to implement a configuration option to set the desired panel width based on % or px? For example, give users the opportunity to set the width of the panel to:

• `25%
• 50%
• 75%
• etc.
• 1024px
• and/or define a custom % or px width?

I have a 49" ultra-widescreen and it's hard to quickly scan/read through the shortcuts because the panel is so wide. I can't see everything in 1 glance. The title of the shortcut and the shortcuts themselves are so far apart it's hard to see the relationship.

Thanks for considering!

After updating to 0.19 from 0.18, the setting page always crashes and cannot be open if the Accessibility and permissions are not granted. With said permission, if you try starting the setting page the app crashes and quits.

Ability to register custom keybindings manually, such as keybindings that i want to remember (or need a reminder of).

My use case:
I have plenty of different apps where i use keyboard shortkeys, but since there are so many of them i sometimes forget those. For example, i have manually configured keybindings for terminal, for my vim code editor, for window management (using Magnet app) etc etc. So i would love to have a place where i can add my keybindings to the config and see them by invoking a help pop-up modal same way as apps like KeyCue does.

Make it so that KeyCLU is launched automatically when the computer boots.

Hi,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't get the persistent window to work. Pressed the command key three times. Nothing happens.

Looks to be enabled int the settings.

Add an option to show hotkeys list by just holding ⌘

Description

Not sure if this was reported before, but if I trigger the shortcuts panel, trigger the search box via the shortcut key, then exit by pressing Esc, when I go to trigger the shortcuts panel again or the persistent panel, it shows me the KeyClu shortcuts instead of the current application's shortcuts.

I have to click inside the app's window to bring it into focus for the shortcuts panel to show the respective shortcuts again.

Expected behavior

Opening the shortcuts panel again after having tried a search in the previous shortcuts panel should show the same application's shortcuts still.

CheatSheets has a pencil appear whenever you hover over a shortcut. When you click it, if you have CustomShortcuts installed (custom shortcut manager), it launches it and inputs the name of the shortcut you clicked then lets you rebind it. Could this be added as a feature even if disabled by default? Thanks.

When opening KeyClu all menu headers appear twice. Once with empty body and once with the items present.

Maybe hide menus with no children altogether.

There is a 1-inch gap between the panel and the side of the screen. The persistent panel should be flush to the side.

Can I list my own shortcuts I have inside my skhdrc?

Basically I would like to press a keybind and have it show all my shortcuts I have listed in my skhd. Is this possible, even if I have to manually add them.

I guess what I'm asking for is the ability to add custom sheets and assign to a key binding in skhd
hyper - s : KeyClu --sheet SHEETNAME --toggle-persistent

This would be a great feature for programs like Yabai/skhd and other global shortcuts not related to s specific program!

Of course if something similar doesn't already exist.

Thanks!

Hi,
It would be great if KeyClu could create a plain text file listing all the shortcut of an app (even better a table in one of the many markdown dialects). Essentially the same content of the panel but saved in a file.
The creation of the document could be triggered using a button at the bottom of the panel.
I think it wold be useful when reorganizing shortcuts of an app that has a lot of them and you have to check which combinations are already taken, the associated menu items, etc.

In German Location Apps like Safari or Photoshop uses lots of Ü, Ä, Ö or Characters like ` and / and so on (⌘+Ü for Example). These Shortcuts are shown only as "⌘" – missing second key. It would be fine if KeyClu can be fixed for Languages with Umlauts or other special characters on the Keyboard.

With the new update, the Persistent Panel isn't working. I tried the trick of selecting "none" and then selecting the option to show it, but it isn't working this time.

Hi, I'm on macOS Ventura and scrolling through the list is choppy. Is it intentionally like that for better performance?

My eyes get distracted when there is a lot of text on my screen 😵‍💫

I'd like to maintain a personal list of shortcuts that are extremely obvious to me (such as ⌘C Copy, ⌘Z Undo, etc...) and have KeyClu filter them out from the overview.

Any small reduction in the amount of clutter helps me out!

Thank you for your consideration 😊

For some reason, the shortcut panel does not activate when double-tapping the command key. Further, I am unable to open the app by any method. I've used brew to uninstall and reinstall KeyClu several times but unfortunately it just won't work.

I've compared what I see in the KeyClue for Skype.app with the official list provided by SKype here and it appears many of those aren't displayed.
Is that due to any limitations of the KeyClue, like inability to extract all shortcuts from Electron-based apps, which Skype is, or just a bug?

For General, Visual, and Advanced items Presets is incorrectly spelled as Pressets

I started using skhd as a hotkey manager, but unfortunately it seems to conflict with KeyClu, as the KeyClu shortcuts don't work anymore :(

I think the easiest way to provide support for this setup, as well as many other possible setups, would be to provide a command line trigger, for example:

/Applications/KeyClu.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyClu --showShortcuts

Then it would be easy to use with skhd, or any other trigger that a user can imagine.

It would be nice of course for the cool Command-based shortcuts to work with skhd, but that could possibly, be too much work, be too hard to solve, or even impossible under macOS. So investigating the specific interaction with skhd sounds like a riskier use of time.

With recent notched macbooks it is valuable feature to disable menubar icon in settings to free up screen space.

I like customizing my mac icons so I made a more refined rendition of KeyClue's. If you like it you can use it as the default. Here are the files: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/9hztly0kmaj4f68,sedipa0zk4gfljc/shared

"hidden shorcuts pannel" button in taskbar doesn't work

Nice app, thanks for making it!

I find myself accidentally triggering KeyClu quite often, it just flashes up on screen when I don't intend to trigger it. Would you consider adding the option to set a delay before it appears so we can fine tune how soon it appears after triggering?

It would be great if you could disable the triple cmd sticky window in preferences.

I find it triggers too easily when I'm thinking / hesitating and have my thumb on the cmd key and as there's no native way to remap the trigger I'd like to disable it if possible?

Is there a plan to make the source code openly available?

Hi! This is a great app, thanks for the amazing job!

Was wandering if KeyClu could make an option to monitor when the user do something that could be done with a shortcut "manually", and then display some alert or display.

Personally, I would like the program to have a very aggressive behavior, like freezing my screen for a second or two, to "punish" me for not knowing the correct shortcut. It would be an opportunity to force the user to learn, which is good (I, for example, was used to Windows shortcuts, and miss knowing them in MacOS).
