Customizing your shortcut

  1. Open Settings

    Click the Shout icon in your menu bar, then click Settings.

  2. Click the shortcut field

    In the Shortcut section, click the current shortcut to enter recording mode.

  3. Press your new key combination

    Press the keys you want to use. Shout will detect and save the combination automatically.

Careful

Global shortcuts require the Accessibility permission. If your shortcut stops working, check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility and ensure Shout is enabled.

Tip

Avoid key combinations already used by macOS or other apps. If your shortcut conflicts with another app, Shout's shortcut may not register. Common safe choices include CtrlSpace or FnF5.
