whkd
whkd is a simple hotkey daemon for Windows that reacts to input events by executing commands.
Its configuration file (whkdrc
) is a series of bindings which define the associations between the input events and the commands.
By default, this file should be located in ~/.config/
, or an alternative can be set using the environment variable WHKD_CONFIG_HOME
.
The format of the configuration file (and this project itself) is heavily inspired by skhd
and sxhkd
.
Example
.shell pwsh # can be one of cmd | pwsh | powershell
# Specify different behaviour depending on the app
alt + n [
# ProcessName as shown by `Get-Process`
Firefox : echo "hello firefox"
# Spaces are fine, no quotes required
Google Chrome : echo "hello chrome"
]
# reload configuration
alt + o : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden
# app shortcuts
alt + f : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Firefox') -eq $False) { start firefox }
# focus windows with komorebi
alt + h : komorebic focus left
alt + j : komorebic focus down
alt + k : komorebic focus up
alt + l : komorebic focus right
