Use when adding or reviewing keyboard shortcuts in a macOS app — in-app vs global, RegisterEventHotKey vs the KeyboardShortcuts package vs NSEvent monitors, user-configurable recording, conflict handling, and which defaults won't collide with the system.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# macOS Global Shortcuts Add keyboard shortcuts that work — in-app ones through SwiftUI, global ones through a real hotkey registration — and keep them configurable, disableable, and out of the system's way. ## When to use Use this skill when the user says: - global shortcut / global hotkey - keyboard shortcut that works everywhere - summon the app / toggle the popover from anywhere - quick capture hotkey - ⌥Space / hyper key - `RegisterEventHotKey` - KeyboardShortcuts (the package) - shortcut recorder / customize shortcuts - shortcut conflicts Do not use this skill for menu-item shortcuts inside a single window (that's plain `.keyboardShortcut`), or for intercepting/remapping *other apps'* keys (that's an event tap + Accessibility permission — a different, heavier topic). ## Core rule ``` In-app shortcuts by default; global only for actions that must work while the app is in the background. Every global shortcut is user-changeable, disableable, and never a common system chord. ``` ## Decision tree ``` Does the action only matter while the app is frontmost? yes → SwiftUI .keyboardShortcut / menu commands. Stop here. Must it fire while another app is focused? …

How to install
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/macos-global-shortcuts@sha256:5b651d70441f3e30The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.accdb14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
