I have an application with an NSMenuItem that launches a separate window and I was wondering if it would also be possible to add a hot-key combination so that it would be possible to also invoke the NSWindow via that as well.

I was thinking that it’s not possible, because wouldn’t the application have to be ‘Active’ for a hot-key to work?

So, where should I be looking? Because, honestly, I’m not sure where to start.

Thanks!

    Your hot-key will only work when the app is active.

    Click where the square is and press the combo of keys that you want to assign:

    In case you mess up the combo of keys, you can clear it here (the “Clear” button at the bottom):
