Hotkeys & shortcuts
Bind global hotkeys for Start, Search, and Quick Settings to keep your workflow fast.
Why hotkeys matter
The fastest way to use Sulguni Taskbar is to treat it like a control layer:
open → do the thing → close → keep working.
Global hotkeys make that muscle memory.
What you can bind (global shortcuts)
Sulguni Taskbar supports global shortcuts for the core flyouts:
- Start
- Search
- Quick Settings
- Calendar
- Notifications
Default hotkeys
Defaults are intentionally “unlikely to conflict”:
- Start:
Ctrl + Option + Cmd + S - Search:
Ctrl + Option + Cmd + F - Quick Settings:
Ctrl + Option + Cmd + Q - Calendar:
Ctrl + Option + Cmd + C - Notifications:
Ctrl + Option + Cmd + N
You can change these in the app’s Settings.
Most people bind hotkeys for:
- Start
- Search / command palette
- Quick Settings
A good setup (that stays conflict-free)
Rules that work in practice:
- Keep the same modifiers and change only the letter (easier to remember).
- Avoid
Cmd + Spaceand other “global monopolies” you already rely on. - If you switch keyboard layouts often, prefer letter keys that don’t move around for you.
Picking a good shortcut
Rules of thumb:
- Avoid conflicts with apps you use daily.
- Prefer chords that your hands can hit without looking.
- If you already use Spotlight heavily, don’t fight the same shortcut - pick something else.
Tip: the default pattern (Ctrl + Option + Cmd + …) is a solid baseline.
If a hotkey doesn’t work
- Make sure the app is running.
- Check for conflicts (another app may have claimed the same shortcut).
- If the hotkey opens a window workflow and something fails, confirm permissions (especially Accessibility).
