whkd

whkd is a simple hotkey daemon for Windows that reacts to input events by executing commands.

Its configuration file (whkdrc) is a series of bindings which define the associations between the input events and the commands. By default, this file should be located in ~/.config/, or an alternative can be set using the environment variable WHKD_CONFIG_HOME.

If you are compiling from the master branch, a --config flag is also available, which, when used, overrides the WHKD_CONFIG_HOME environment variable. This flag will be made available in v0.1.3+.

The format of the configuration file (and this project itself) is heavily inspired by skhd and sxhkd.

Example

.shell pwsh # can be one of cmd | pwsh | powershell

# Specify different behaviour depending on the app
alt + n [
    # ProcessName as shown by `Get-Process`
    Firefox       : echo "hello firefox"
    
    # Spaces are fine, no quotes required
    Google Chrome : echo "hello chrome"
]

# reload configuration
alt + o : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden

# app shortcuts
alt + f : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Firefox') -eq $False) { start firefox }

# focus windows with komorebi
alt + h : komorebic focus left
alt + j : komorebic focus down
alt + k : komorebic focus up
alt + l : komorebic focus right
