How gestures work
- Double tap
- Tap the key twice, quickly, on its own. ⌘⌘ is Toggle; ⌥⌥ is Toggle Tab.
- Press and release
- Hold the keys together and let go without pressing anything else. ⌃⌘ opens History.
- Good to know
- Gestures need Accessibility permission. Any command can take a gesture or a regular hotkey instead.
Window commands
None of the 42 window commands has a key until you give it one, so Hopper never takes keys you already use. Coming from Rectangle, Magnet or Spectacle? Import their keys in one go.
See hotkey presetsNo shortcut matches that. Try “copy”, “tab” or “window”.
