Hotkeys

Assign a global keyboard shortcut to any dock. Press the hotkey from anywhere to show or hide that dock instantly.

Setting up a hotkey

  1. Open the management window → select a dock → Properties → Shortcuts

  2. Enable Enable Hotkey

  3. Click the shortcut recorder and press your desired key combination

The shortcut is now active system-wide. Press it once to show the dock, press again to hide it.

Auto-hide after hotkey

When you show a dock via its hotkey, it can automatically hide again after a delay. Choose from:

  • Never — Dock stays visible until you press the hotkey again or interact elsewhere

  • 3 seconds

  • 5 seconds

  • 10 seconds

This is useful for quick-glance workflows — press the hotkey, launch an app, and the dock disappears on its own.

Tips

  • Each dock can have its own unique hotkey

  • Disabling the hotkey toggle clears the recorded shortcut

  • Hotkeys work regardless of which app is in the foreground

  • Combine with auto-hide for a keyboard-driven dock that stays out of the way
