About

A simple hotkey daemon for Windows

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.
