Hey all! I'm writing this to let you know that this alternative open-source shortcut repository and website exists: https://github.com/solomkinmv/hotkys (https://hotkys.com/). It focuses on macOS now, but you can express you interest for a Windows/Linux version too.

With all due respect to Andrew and the fantastic website he has created, the last PR here was merged 3 years ago. Consequently, this project can be considered dormant and de-facto unmaintained. In 3-6 years, some apps and their shortcuts changed a lot (Spotify, Notion, ...), and I've noticed many shortcut definitions here are outdated or incomplete.

I've personally wanted a good OSS alternative to DefKey .com and ShortcutWorld .com for years, and decided to fork Use The Keyboard last week to update its content and reuse it in a Raycast extension. While I was doing that however, I learned about Hotkys. Its creator and maintainer, @solomkinmv has been responsive, and welcomed several of my contributions in the last week.

So again, until this project shows signs of life again, it's probably best to focus our collective contribution efforts in a place where it will lead to near-term value for ourselves & others 🙂
