System-Wide Shortcuts

System-wide shortcuts (often referred to as hotkeys) function even if ADR Master is not the frontmost application.

System-wide shortcuts that use F keys (e.g., Command & F7) require that the Mac's F keys are configured to act as standard function keys rather than special keys (for controlling display brightness, volume, etc.).

This setting can be found in System Settings → Keyboard → Function Keys. If this setting is disabled, the Fn key would need to be pressed in addition to the shortcut (e.g., Command & Fn & F7).

Keyboard settings macOS{width=60%}

The Enable system-wide shortcuts preference can be found in Preferences / Settings → MISC.

MISC Preferences tab{width=60%}

As these shortcuts are not customisable, it is possible that they interfere with existing shortcuts in other apps. Unticking this checkbox will disable them completely. A restart of ADR Master is required for the changes to take effect.
