Hotkey

Right-click the Listary tray icon and go to Options -> Hotkey

For extreme efficiency, all Listary commands can be done via the keyboard. Hotkeys can help you avoid the operational costs of constantly switching between the mouse and keyboard.

Most hotkey combinations in Listary support customization. You can set hotkeys separately in the commands, actions, and other functions. This page only explains the options in the Hotkey.

Show LauncherDouble-click CtrlInstead of double-clicking the Ctrl key, you can activate Listary with a custom hotkey. You can create an activation hotkey here if needed, and click Reset to go back to double-clicking Ctrl. When pressing again, you can set it to either 「Switch to file search」 or 「Hide Listary」. At the same time, 「Disable for full-screen games and apps」 (on by default) turns on the full - screen do - not - disturb feature.

If another app is already using the hotkey for Show Launcher (when set to a custom combination), Show File Search Window, Quick Switch or Show popup menu, Listary shows a notice from its tray icon when it starts, and the hotkey is marked in red on this page. If you try to change a hotkey to one that's already taken, Listary doesn't accept it and keeps the old hotkey.
