Hotkeys & Quick Access

AiNoter is designed for a keyboard-first workflow. You can configure hotkeys to copy prompts, and use a separate hotkey to open the Quick Access window.

Prompt hotkeys (copy)

• Assign a hotkey to a prompt to copy it instantly.
• Use this when you have a few prompts you copy many times per day.
• After copying, paste into your active app with ⌘V.

Quick Access window

Quick Access is a minimal window with a numbered list (including folders). Open it with your configured Quick Access hotkey.

Copy by numbers

Type the numbers shown in the list to copy a prompt.

Example: 2 1

• 2 → select folder #2
• 1 → copy prompt #1 inside that folder

Customizing hotkeys

Hotkeys are configurable so you can avoid conflicts with macOS or other apps.

• Open AiNoter Settings / Preferences
• Set the Quick Access hotkey
• Assign per‑prompt hotkeys for your most-used prompts

Troubleshooting

• If a hotkey doesn’t work, try a different combination (some shortcuts are reserved by macOS).
• If multiple apps use the same shortcut, change one of them to remove the conflict.
• If AiNoter can’t capture a global hotkey, check any macOS permissions the app requests.
