Keyshift is designed to stay out of the way while you work in other apps.
- 1
The app lives in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (macOS). Click the Keyshift icon to open the main window.
- 2
Close (×) hides to the tray — it does not quit the app.
- 3
Hide when clicking elsewhere (on by default in Settings): switching to another app sends the main window to the tray automatically.
- 4
Turn that off in Settings → Window if you want the window to stay visible.
Tray menu
Right-click or use the tray menu: Show Keyshift AI, Pause typed triggers (master on/off for keyshift and slash triggers), About, Quit.
Opening Palette, Actions, or Clipboard from the main window keeps Keyshift available briefly so the main window does not disappear mid-action.
