Keyboard shortcuts

promptpov's shortcuts work in three different places:

• Anywhere — even while Zoom, Teams or another app is in front, once promptpov has Accessibility permission (see below). Without it, they work only while promptpov is the app in front.
• promptpov in front — menu shortcuts, which work only while promptpov is the active app.
• While typing — in a specific box, such as the AI Assistant or the Notebook.

Let shortcuts work while another app is in front

macOS only lets an app notice keys pressed in other apps if you trust it in Accessibility. Without it, the "Anywhere" shortcuts work only while promptpov is in front — not mid-meeting with Zoom or Teams in front.

1. In promptpov's menu, choose Run Diagnostic….
2. Find Global keyboard shortcuts and click Grant.
3. In System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, switch promptpov on.
4. Click back to promptpov. The shortcuts turn on when you return — no restart needed.

If picture-in-picture was already on when you granted the permission, turn it off and on once for ⌃⌥⌘P to work from another app.

Tips

• Most shortcuts are also in promptpov's menu, so you can always click instead. The menu shows each shortcut next to its item.
• From another app, promptpov notices the keys but doesn't take them, so the app in front sees them too. If your cursor is in a text box, such as the meeting's chat, ⌥1 – ⌥6 may also type a character there.
