Hotkey

The hotkey daemon is currently Windows-only. It registers one global shortcut and opens a new terminal window that runs the Codex picker for the working directory where the daemon was started.

Terminal window
sivtr hotkey start

Default chord:

alt+y

Override it when starting:

Terminal window
sivtr hotkey start --chord ctrl+shift+y

Or configure it:

[hotkey]
chord = "alt+y"
Terminal window
sivtr hotkey status

The status output includes:

  • daemon pid;
  • chord;
  • working directory;
  • executable path when available.
Terminal window
sivtr hotkey stop

If the stored pid is stale, sivtr clears the state file.

When the chord is pressed, the daemon launches:

Terminal window
sivtr hotkey-pick-codex --cwd <daemon-working-directory>

That internal command opens the same selection workflow as:

Terminal window
sivtr copy codex --pick
