iCanHazShortcut For Mac

iCanHazShortcut is an unobtrusive macOS utility that enables you to simplify the access to frequently used commands for the command line. The app enables you to set up keyboard shortcuts for each command, and also delivers access through the status bar.

To start using the iCanHazShortcut application, you must start by developing a custom shortcuts collection. Note that the manager comes empty by default, and you cannot export or import configuration files, which means that you must repeat this action for each machine you install iCanHazShortcut on.

For each entry, you must define the shortcut and the action that should be performed. iCanHazShortcut is designed to work with any command that can be run in the Terminal.

The configuration panel provides a couple of examples that can give you an idea of what you can do: open apps, grab screenshots, say the current date, save or set the clipboard content, or lock the screen.

By default, iCanHazShortcut will add each newly defined hotkey to the status bar menulet, so you can run the commands by using your mouse.

However, via the iCanHazShortcut Preferences, you get to decide if you want to see the menulet in the status bar, and if the menu should include the actions or the hotkeys.

ICanHazShortcut enables you to decide which type of shell you want to use for the application: bash, csh, ksh, sh, tcsh, zsh, or no shell at all.

To sum up, iCanHazShortcut proposes an alternative solution to deal with frequently used Terminal commands: you get to create an easily accessible database and assign keyboard shortcuts in order to make everything even more straightforward.

iCanHazShortcut can run in the status bar as a menulet, or you can choose to disable the menu and have the utility run in the background, as a service. This way, iCanHazShortcut will extend the system capabilities without taking up any desktop space.
