Global Hotkey

What is it

Warp's Global Hotkey is a configurable shortcut that can show/hide a dedicated window or all windows on your chosen desktop regardless of whether the app is focused. You can customize the dedicated windows' pinned position and its width and height ratio relative to your active screen size.

How to access it

Dedicated Window

  1. 1.
    Open Settings > Features > Keys and select "Dedicated hotkey window" from the Global Hotkey dropdown to enable the feature.
  2. 2.
    Configure the keybinding, the windows position, screen, and relative size or uncheck "Autohides on the loss of keyboard focus" which will cause the dedicated Hotkey Window to stay on top when triggered regardless of mouse or keyboard focus.
Your new customization will apply the next time a Dedicated Window is created, not the currently opened one.

Show/Hide All Windows

  1. 1.
    Open Settings > Features > Keys and select "Show/hide all windows" from the Global Hotkey dropdown to enable the feature.
  2. 2.
    Configure your preferred keybinding.
CAPS, TAB, BACKTICK, and TILDE are not supported keyboard shortcuts for the Global Hotkey
