• Toggle Opacity range
• Unshow menu, ranges, and inputs

• Show a random color

Setting view

I think that you can add in the setting a tab called Hot Keys In short, the actions that gonna be there are customizable and searchable

In long:

• Search shortcuts by action name (above I wrote a list of possible actions) and/or key combination (he can write Ctrl it will show him all the key combination with Ctrl key) and/or by pressing the shortcut (little popup to press the shortcut inside)
• Change key combination
  • Change shortcut by writing the shortcut or by pressing the shortcut in little popup that meant for that (like in the shortcut search)
• Delete key combination (can be done by removing the text in the hotkey input

Scenario

I downloaded the new version of the ColorPicker, when I finished downloaded it and open a pop up been shown - Release notes that says:

Release Notes for x.x

The new release contains shortcuts!

With shortcuts you can make your job faster

Example for useful shortcuts:

• Grab Color right to your clipboard by pressing Ctrl + G
• Open Eye Dropper by pressing Ctrl + E

You can even customize them to whatever you want

... more features in the release

I'm getting excited because Whoo hoo, Shortcuts!

So I update to the new version Then I try the Grab color shortcut but unfortunately this shortcut was already assigned by another program (i.e to open the mail)

So I remember that in the release notes pop up they said that I can customize the shortcut (and even if I don't remember this is a natural place for people to look at)

I open the preferences and go to the Hot Keys tab

I don't know what the shortcut called and I'm lazy to start writing the shortcut

So I tap the little icon for grabbing shortcuts and I press the shortcut (the mail window opens again, I close it) and the action is listed there

I click the little icon again for grabbing shortcuts, and press (Ctrl + Alt + G) unfortunately this shortcut already been taken by (i.e Open Colors book)

I have 2 options in there

Remove Open Colors book hotkey | Add anyway | Cancel (this are buttons)

when I hover above the button Remove Open Colors book hotkey a tooltip/popup been shown

Inside was written

This will set the hotkey you choose to Grab color and will remove the hotkey from Open Colors book

I click Remove Open Colors book hotkey button Now I can use Ctrl + Alt + G to Grab color

And I live happily ever after

It's a really big one 👍 I've already made shortcut, but we cannot change it for now, it would be great to change it yeah

You can override some system shortcuts (which is not recommend) or simply use the alt modifier
