Problem

I use both ctrl+[ and more often cmd+[ to dismiss stuffs around (IDEs, terminals)

So it'll nice if we can add more option to use cmd+[ works same as ctrl+[

ty.

Solution

No response

That's the first time I've heard about these shortcuts. Can you tell me what those are doing?

[tmpm697]

idk what is default ctrl+[ on macos, but ctrl+[ is default to escape if u use (neo)vim.

I use maccy with default settings, ctrl-c or ctrl+[ has same effect (dismiss/abort maccy) -- probably they're escape keys.

In my case I also use left cmd a lot, and sometime it's quicker to use cmd+[ than ctrl+[

[tmpm697]

it seems also default that i can use ctrl+n/p to navigate up/down entries, but it's ideal if we can re-map this to like cmd+n/p or opt+n/p

[p0deje]

ctrl+n/p are standard mappings for macOS menus so you can use them in Maccy as well. ctrl+[ has no effect on my Maccy, I wonder how it's being closed. I'll see what is the best way to allow changing the shortucts.

that's werid, so how normally u dismiss maccy floating window?

and yes, i use cmd mainly and totally get rid of ctrl in my workflow, so trigger maccy and reaching ctrl break it.

I press Escape, or press the popup shortcut again (default CMD+SHIFT+C)

[tmpm697]

weirdly, i tried cmd+shift+c, does not work for me, probably i changed some settings idk. it's macos ventura 13.6.6 and Maccy 0.30.0

The shortcut to close is the same as to open. In your case, it's COMMAND+D.

oh that's nice, but if i can keep holding cmd and use cmd+n/p to navigate up/down the list is ideal. ty.

@tmpm697 Unfortunately, this means potential conflicts with pinned items using n/p letters. Also, this would not be consistent with the rest of macOS applications.

currently u can change pinned item via opt+p which is not cmd+p.

but what i want in sump up is:

cmd+d to open maccy
cmd+n to down entries
cmd+p to up entries
cmd+[ to close/dismiss maccy

conflicts can be solved from users settings but i think, can it be supported?

u don't need to make it default like about, but allow users to change to it.

users can change pinned item key via settings -

P is already forbidden, but N is still allowed

why my list is empty like above image? i think the keybinding implementation is due to each app? double click does not take any effect (expect to create new entry)

like in vscode, i can map cmd+n/p to whatever i want while i'm in that app.

You need to first pin something using OPTION+P.

Yes, but CMD+N is reserved for pins. I understand your use case, but I don't see myself implementing this. There is quite a lot to do to allow customization of such shortcuts, translate into all languages that Maccy supports and somehow deal with conflicts of pins. Sorry, but I don't think Maccy should allow to change every single keybinding it supports.

You are still welcome to send PRs implementing this or feel free to fork it and replace the keybindings.

I don't mind if it's cmd+j/k, in fact i use cmd+j/k to navigate suffs more than cmd+n/p,

idk why need translate into all languages but this can be just for us/uk keyboard layouts?

Again, those would conflict with pinned letters.

The settings page to change this keys would need to be translated to all languages.
