iCanHazShortcut

iCanHazShortcut is a handy utility for macOS that makes it super easy to access the commands you use all the time in the command line. With this app, you can set up keyboard shortcuts for each command and even access them right from your status bar!

Getting Started with iCanHazShortcut

To kick things off with iCanHazShortcut, you'll want to create your collection of shortcuts. Keep in mind that when you first install it, the manager is empty. There's no option to export or import files, so you'll need to set up your shortcuts individually on each machine where you use it.

Create Your Shortcuts

For every shortcut you add, you'll define what action needs to happen when you hit that key combo. This app works with any command that runs in Terminal. Pretty cool, right?

Examples of What You Can Do

The configuration panel gives some examples to spark your creativity: open applications, take screenshots, announce the current date, save or set clipboard content, or even lock your screen! The possibilities are endless!

Status Bar Menulet

By default, every new hotkey gets added to the status bar menulet. This means you can also run commands with just your mouse if that's more your style.

Customize Your Preferences

You have control over whether you want the menulet visible in the status bar and if it should show actions or hotkeys as well.

Select Your Shell Type

iCanHazShortcut lets you choose which type of shell to use: bash, csh, ksh, sh, tcsh, zsh—or even no shell at all!

A Simple Solution for Terminal Commands

In short, iCanHazShortcut offers an easy way to manage those frequently used Terminal commands. You get to build a simple database of shortcuts, so everything's just a keystroke away.

Status Bar vs Background Running

This app can run as a menulet in your status bar or quietly in the background as a service. This way, iCanHazShortcut expands what your system can do without taking up any space on your desktop!
