Hotkeys for Everything

Keybored lets you bind system-wide hotkeys to anything. Control Spotify, launch apps, run scripts, or toggle system settings, all executed instantly in the background.

Simple Configuration

Add your hotkey mappings in ~/keybored.json . Each hotkey entry consists of a combination of modifiers, a trigger key, the path to a binary, and any arguments to pass along.

[
  {
    "modifiers": ["cmd", "shift", "ctrl", "opt"],
    "key": "space",
    "binary": "/usr/bin/osascript",
    "arguments": ["-e", "tell application \"Spotify\" to playpause"]
  }
]

The Hyper Key

For conflict-free hotkeys, you can enable the Hyper key feature by toggling Remap Caps Lock in settings. Holding Caps Lock acts as if all four modifier keys are pressed together.

To use the Hyper key in your hotkeys, simply set the modifier list to include all four modifier keys.
