Customizing Hotkeys

Conflict Detection

AnySearch automatically checks for conflicts with system hotkeys and other apps. If a conflict is detected, you'll see a warning with suggestions for alternative key combinations.

Quick Search Panel

The Quick Search panel is a compact floating window designed for fast lookups. It appears at the top center of your screen and supports the same search syntax as the main window. Press Esc or the hotkey again to dismiss it.
