Always‑on‑Top Hotkey Questions
Can I change the default hotkey?
Yes! TopWindow allows full hotkey customization. Access preferences through the menu bar and set any key combination that doesn't conflict with system shortcuts.
What if my hotkey conflicts with another app?
TopWindow detects conflicts and will warn you. You can either choose a different combination or disable the conflicting app's shortcut if TopWindow's functionality is more important.
Do hotkeys work in all applications?
Yes! TopWindow's hotkeys are registered system-wide and work regardless of which application is currently active. This ensures consistent behavior across your entire macOS experience.
Can I disable hotkeys completely?
