Process to identify conflicting shortcuts

[sccardais]

Proposal

Shortcuts are terrific until they start doing something you don't expect. This can happen when different applications use the same shortcut. Any tool that helped to identify conflicting shortcuts would be very helpful.

Alternatives

I've wondered if a tool like KeyClu might allow copying the shortcuts for a given application to a spreadsheet. This might allow the user to create a large table of shortcuts for different applications to help identify duplicates. Not sure it that will work in practice but it's something I've wondered about.

Hey sccardais, Thanks for sharing the idea! If I understand correctly, you're looking for a way to list the shortcuts used by the app. If that's the case, there's a feature for that: after enabling "Show command bar" in Settings → Window, you can click the M button on the bottom right Shortcuts Panel to export the app's shortcuts to a markdown file. While it's not a spreadsheet, it still provides a good overview. Let me know if this works for you, or if you're looking for something different.

Thank you. I’ll let you know if it works as I’m hoping. Essentially, I’m hoping to create a database of shortcuts for my applications. Initially, it will have to be the default shortcuts but it’s a start.
