alt-3 is the # symbol on a UK keyboard #2

Hello :)

Can you possibly make the keyboard shortcuts configurable or possibly just exclude certain ones because while I love this plugin it prevents me typing # because on a UK keyboard # is mapped to alt-3.

Hi there, I can make a custom configuration screen to define the shortcuts. The advantage of using this plugin is using minimal keystrokes, but most common ones like ([Command + #]) are already taken so I have to make a compromise and use one that say I personally do not use. Is there a combination that works in your UK usage? I am thinking of making a screen that shows all the control keys with checkboxes, to be used in conjunction with the number.

I think in general it's a good set of keystrokes. It's just the odd one such as alt-3 (#) and alt-2 (€) on the uk keyboard that are a problem. I'd suggest either giving the ability to disable selected keys (i.e. allowing a uk user to disable alt-3 but still keep all the other bookmark numbers) or maybe allowing control over the shortcut keys from the normal Xcode key combination preferences.

Had been wondering why my Macbook Air hash key wasn't working in Xcode over the last few days - finally just realised it was due to this, took a bit of tracking down!

Just providing this as some constructive feedback - great plugin :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've just created a branch key_remap to track work on this front.
