Shortcut / Action Config

Used to set PixPin's global shortcuts and custom actions.

Action

An action is the operation unit of PixPin, which can be a screenshot, pin, etc. Actions are represented in script form. You can set a shortcut for each action or display the action in the tray menu.

Shortcut Conflict

PixPin's shortcuts are global. If a set shortcut conflicts with other software, PixPin will prompt a shortcut conflict upon startup. In this case, you need to modify the shortcut.

Disable All Global Shortcuts

There is a "Disable Shortcuts" option in the tray menu, which can disable/enable all global shortcuts.

Disable Shortcuts for Specific Programs

You can set the path of ignored programs in the action editing window. When this program is active, the corresponding shortcut will be disabled.
