HyperKeys alternative. HyperKeys vs SMBAct: A Comparison.

HyperKeys is a tool that enhances keyboard shortcuts and allows users to bind any action to a shortcut.

Here are some key points about HyperKeys:

  • Functionality: HyperKeys enables you to map keyboard shortcuts to specific actions. You can choose from pre-defined actions or create your own custom actions.
  • Configuration: The tool provides a configuration screen where you can select an action, such as running a command or pinning a window, and assign a desired keyboard shortcut, such as ALT+SHIFT+F. Additional configuration options may be available depending on the chosen action.
  • Use Cases: HyperKeys offers various use cases to enhance productivity and convenience. For example:
  1. Navigating across windows: You can set up shortcuts to switch between different open windows, providing a faster alternative to using ALT-TAB or other methods.
  2. Finding your phone: By integrating with services like IFTTT (If This, Then That), you can create a shortcut to trigger an action that helps you locate your phone, such as making it ring using Telegram.
  3. Boosting productivity: Designers or professionals who frequently use specific tools can assign shortcuts to quickly launch those tools without disrupting their workflow.
  4. Custom actions: Users have the flexibility to create their own actions, allowing for personalized automation or convenience features.
  5. Community-Driven: HyperKeys is open-source and encourages community participation. Users can create and share their own actions, expanding the tool’s functionality. An online store for actions is mentioned as coming soon.
