About PowerShell Universal desktop hotkeys. |
PowerShell Universal Desktop supports global hotkeys that can be used to invoke scripts with key chords.
To define a hotkey, you will need to edit the hotkeys.ps1
file in the .universal
folder or through the Settings \ Configurations page within the Admin Console.
Hotkeys are defined using the New-PSUHotkey
cmdlet. For example, the following will invoke MyScript.ps1
when Ctrl+I
is pressed anywhere within Windows.
New-PSUHotkey -Key I -ModifierKey Ctrl -Script 'MyScript.ps1'
You can define which environment the hotkey runs within by using the -Environment
parameter.
New-PSUHotkey -Key I -ModifierKey Ctrl -Script 'MyScript.ps1' -Environment 'pwsh'
You can define parameters passed to the script by using the dynamic parameters provided by New-PSUHotKey
.
For example, if a script accepts a -Parameter1
parameter, you can define that on New-PSUHotKey.
param($Parameter1)
Within the hotkey, just use -Parameter1
.
New-PSUHotkey -Key I -ModifierKey Ctrl -Script 'MyScript.ps1' -Parameter1 'Test'
