How To Set Up Hotkeys

Instantly Switch Desktop Contents on Your Mac

InfiniDesk lets you use global keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) to quickly change your desktop contents on Mac (and perform other actions) without having to click in the menu bar. This turns InfiniDesk into a blazing-fast workspace switcher for Mac!

Set Up Hotkeys

• Hotkeys are disabled by default. To enable hotkeys, first select General Settings › Set Global Keyboard Shortcuts in the InfiniDesk menu.
• You will be prompted to grant InfiniDesk accessibility permissions in System Settings. Granting these permissions allows InfiniDesk to respond to certain key combinations. Note: InfiniDesk will quit while you set this permission.
• Re-start InfiniDesk by clicking the app in the Applications folder, or e.g. via Spotlight.
• Again go to General Settings › Set Global Keyboard Shortcuts in the InfiniDesk menu.
• Now you can specify your hotkeys! InfiniDesk first asks which hotkey you would like to use to switch desktops (if any). Then it asks which hotkey to use for other menu options (if any). Tip: Use hotkey combinations which do not clash with existing hotkeys on your Mac - there are many to choose from.
• Re-start InfiniDesk and enjoy the speed of hotkeys!
