Hotkey

The global shortcut that toggles the clipboarder overlay. Default: ⌘⇧V.

Recording a new hotkey

1. Open Settings → Hotkey
2. Click Record
3. Press your desired combination (e.g. ⌘⌥V)
4. Release the non-modifier key — clipboarder saves the binding immediately

Press Esc (without modifiers) to cancel mid-recording.

Accelerator format

clipboarder uses Tauri's accelerator string. Modifiers:

• CommandOrControl — ⌘ on macOS
• Meta / Super — ⌘
• Control — ⌃
• Alt / Option — ⌥
• Shift — ⇧

Keys:

• Letters use KeyA, KeyB, … (the recorder picks these automatically)
• Digits use Digit0, …, Digit9
• Function keys: F1, …, F12
• Special: Space, Enter, Tab, Escape, Backspace, Delete, ArrowUp/Down/Left/Right

Examples:

CommandOrControl+Shift+V          ⌘⇧V
CommandOrControl+Alt+Space        ⌘⌥Space
Control+Shift+Period              ⌃⇧.

Why must the hotkey include a modifier?

Bare keys would intercept every keystroke from every app. clipboarder enforces at least one of ⌘, ⌥, or ⌃ plus a non-modifier key.

What if registration fails?

If another app has grabbed the same combination at the OS level, clipboarder logs an error and the old hotkey stays active. Pick a different combo and try again.
