Global Hotkeys

Use these shortcuts while Pub-Xel is running — even if the window is hidden in the system tray.

Change them in Preferences → Hotkeys (restart after saving).


Defaults

Action Keys
Open Files Alt+Shift+K
Inspect Files Alt+Shift+J
View PubMed Alt+Shift+P

Typical use

  1. Copy PMIDs in Excel (Ctrl+C).
  2. Press Alt+Shift+K — your PDFs open.

Change hotkeys

Preferences → Hotkeys → pick a modifier and one letter for each action → Save and Exit → restart Pub-Xel.

Each action needs a different letter. Restore Default puts back K, J, and P.
