The keys Hopper starts with. Change any of them, or give any command its own, in Settings ▸ Shortcuts.

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.
