Customizing Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts can be customized in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts:

2. Click the current key combination
3. Press your new shortcut
4. Click Save

noetect will warn you if your new shortcut conflicts with an existing one.

macOS Integration

noetect integrates with macOS for a native feel:

• Menu bar access: Quick access from the menu bar
• Global toggle: ⌘⇧B works even when noetect isn't focused
• Native keyboard shortcuts: Standard macOS shortcuts work as expected (⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘Z, etc.)
