Building Large Custom Collections
Many KeyCombiner users like to build custom collections with hundreds of manually defined shortcuts. This enables interesting and diverse use cases.
Note: Individual collections are currently restricted to 500 combinations for performance reasons. However, as a Pro user, you can have as many collections as you want.
KeyCombiner makes it very easy to create a collection with all your shortcuts by importing them from public collections. Similar to how you create playlists in music software, KeyCombiner lets you import shortcuts into your collections.
Another simple approach for avoiding most manual typing is the Save as New feature. When editing an existing combination in one of your collections, you can make modifications and then choose Save as New. Via this approach, you can keep most of the fields and only edit what you need to be different. The most common use case for this technique is creating many combinations with the same Context and Category.
Another option is KeyCombiner's CSV import, which is probably the most efficient method to build large collections of custom shortcuts.
Use your favorite spreadsheet editor, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, to create large collections. Then, click the dots icon in the top right of a personal collection page and choose Import CSV Data:
The modal contains download links for exemplary CSV files. The basic structure is straightforward:
"Description","Keys","Keys (macOS)","Context","Category"
"Open File...","ctrl+o","cmd+o","Essential","File Management"
"Save","ctrl+s","cmd+s","Essential","File Management"
