Feature Request: Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts
Current Issue: Currently, Yaak only supports Ctrl+. (Ctrl + period) for inserting environment variables, and this shortcut cannot be customized. The keyboard shortcuts are also not well documented within the app itself (only available on the website).
Requested Features:
Customizable keyboard shortcuts - Allow users to modify existing shortcuts, especially the environment variable insertion shortcut (Ctrl+.)
In-app shortcut documentation - Display available shortcuts within the app settings or help section, not just on the website
Shortcut preferences panel - Add a dedicated settings section where users can:
View all current shortcuts
Modify existing shortcuts
Set custom shortcuts for frequently used actions
Use Case: Different users have different workflow preferences and may have conflicts with existing shortcuts in their system or other applications. Being able to customize shortcuts would greatly improve the user experience and productivity.
Priority: Medium-High This would significantly improve accessibility and user workflow customization.
Yep, this is definitely on the list. I’m surprised I hadn’t put it on the board already. Thanks for submitting!
As for the autocomplete hotkey, it should be Ctrl+Space. Are you using a non-standard keyboard layout?
There is also already a way to view existing shortcuts, accessible from the main app menu.
A "Show/Hide" shortcut key would be a fantastic feature. This would allow users to instantly bring Yaak to the foreground with a single key press, making it much faster to access than searching for it in the taskbar. This is a common and highly efficient feature in many other applications, especially for developers.
