Mac OS Quick Note Keyboard Shortcut does not work if changed from default

Author: vulcanfkCreated Sep 10, 2026Updated Sep 10, 2026

Describe the bug When attempting to set a different shortcut key for Quick Notes via the Mac app, the app allows you to change the shortcut key combo, but no matter what it is set to it does not work. Only the default 'Shift+Space' ever works for Quick Notes shortcuts.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install the Mac app
  2. Go to Blinko settings -> shortcut key -> Desktop & Hotkeys
  3. Ensure 'Enable Quick Notes' is checked
  4. Click Record under Shortcut keys for quick notes and set a different key combo
  5. Attempt to use the new key combo to create a Quick Note. Observe that it does not work

Expected behavior Expect the remapped key combo to work for Quick Notes
