Hotkeys#
Open Settings → Hotkeys to assign keyboard shortcuts to presets and DockFlow actions. Hotkeys work from any app.
Preset shortcuts#
Preset Shortcuts lists every preset. If you have no presets yet, create one first.
- Click Set Hotkey next to a preset
- Press the key combination. Press Escape or click outside to cancel.
Click the remove button to clear a shortcut. Assigned shortcuts are also shown in the menu bar menu.
Trigger types#
Click Advanced options (the arrow on a preset's row) to choose how its shortcut triggers:
- Single Press
- Press once to activate. This is a normal shortcut set with Set Hotkey.
- Key Sequence
- Enter scope, then press the action key. You press a Leader Key first, then the preset's Action Key. The leader key is shared across all sequences, so one leader key can give you many presets. Click Set next to each key to record it.
- Multi-Press
- Tap a key several times quickly. Set the Key to Press and the Press Count: Double (2×) or Triple (3×).
Action shortcuts#
Action Shortcuts run DockFlow commands. None are set by default.
- Save Current Dock to Last Applied Preset — Save your current Dock state back to the last preset you applied
- Move Dock to Locked Display — Move the Dock back to the display you chose in Lock Dock
Shortcut behavior#
These settings tune key sequences and multi-press shortcuts:
- Leader Key — Activates scope mode for sequence shortcuts
- Scope Timeout — Auto-exit scope mode after this time. From 1 to 10 seconds; the default is 3 seconds.
- Multi-Press Window — Time window to detect multiple presses. From 200 to 1000 ms; the default is 500 ms.
- Show Scope Indicator — Change the menu bar icon while you are in scope mode. On by default.
