Customize Shortcuts

Change Hepi hotkeys, avoid conflicts, and use diagnostics when a shortcut fails.

Before You Change Anything

Think about which shortcuts matter most in your daily tasks. Most people only need to customize a few:

  • Show or hide Hepi
  • Region capture
  • Click-through or overlay control
  • Any task they use many times per day

Steps

  1. Open Settings and go to the Hotkeys section.
  2. Pick the action you want to change.
  3. Choose a combination that does not overlap with another app you use often.
  4. Save the change if needed.
  5. Test it immediately in the same context where you expect to use it.

Good Shortcut Choices

  • Use combinations you can remember.
  • Avoid keys another app already needs.
  • Keep your recovery shortcuts easy to reach.
  • Change only a small number at one time.

What A Good Shortcut Setup Looks Like

A strong setup usually means:

  • Your daily shortcuts are easy to remember
  • Important actions do not conflict with your other main apps
  • Recovery shortcuts still work if Hepi feels hidden
  • You have tested the new combination, not just assigned it
Shortcut Diagnostics
In the Hotkeys settings, you'll see a list of all available actions and their current assignments. If a shortcut isn't working, Hepi will often show a warning if another application is already using that key combination.

Common Mistakes

  • Changing too many shortcuts at once
  • Choosing combinations another app already captures
  • Forgetting to test after saving
  • Making recovery shortcuts harder to reach than before
