All shortcuts are global. They work from any application while FriskyMouse is running.

Feature toggles

You can change these shortcuts. See Customizing shortcuts.

Customizing shortcuts

Change a feature toggle or profile slot shortcut from the Keyboard Shortcuts section in Settings. Each feature page also has an Activation Shortcut setting for its own shortcut.

Open Settings and go to the Keyboard Shortcuts section.
Select Edit next to the action you want to change.
Press the new key combination. It must include Ctrl + Shift and a letter, digit, or function key. You can add Alt.
Select Save.

FriskyMouse rejects a combination that another FriskyMouse feature or another application already uses, and shows Hotkey Already in Use. Each action has exactly one shortcut; you can’t remove a shortcut without assigning another one.
