Customize shortcuts

You can give any command a keyboard shortcut, change a default one, or remove it. The defaults are listed in Keyboard shortcuts. Open Preferences → Shortcuts, or press Ctrl+/.

Change a shortcut

1. Under In-App Shortcuts, find the command. Type part of its name in Search commands… to narrow the list.
2. Select the pencil button next to the command.
3. Press the new key combination.

The shortcut applies at once, in the menus too. While you record, press Backspace or Delete to remove the command’s shortcut, or Esc to cancel.

A shortcut needs Ctrl, Shift, or Alt, unless it is a function key such as F4.

To go back to a command’s default, select Reset to default next to it. The button appears only for shortcuts you changed.

If the combination is already used, JSON Digger says which command has it, for example “Already used by “Find in Document”. Press another combination.” The pencil stays in recording mode: press another combination, or first change the shortcut of the other command.

Global shortcut

A global shortcut brings the JSON Digger window to the front from any app, even when it is minimized. It has none by default.

1. Under Global Shortcuts, select Click to record a shortcut.
2. Press a combination with at least one of Ctrl, Shift, or Alt, such as Ctrl+Alt+J.

If another app already uses the combination, JSON Digger says it couldn’t register the shortcut and keeps the previous one. Select Clear to remove the global shortcut.

Choose a combination that no command in JSON Digger uses: while the global shortcut is set, it takes the keys first.
