Setting up global hotkeys

Reaching for the tray icon every time you toggle the system proxy gets old fast. Clash Verge has global hotkeys built in — bind them once and a key combination does the job.

Binding a hotkey

  1. Open Settings and find Hotkey Setting.
  2. Click the input box next to the action you want, then press the combination you want to use, for example Ctrl+Alt+S.
  3. The ones worth binding: show/hide window, toggle system proxy, toggle TUN mode, switch between rule and global mode.
  4. Close the dialog and it takes effect immediately — no restart needed.

When a hotkey does nothing

Almost always another program registered the same combination first. Input methods, screenshot tools and screen recorders all love Ctrl+Alt plus a letter, so picking a less obvious combination usually fixes it. Also remember hotkeys are registered globally: they stop responding once the client fully exits, but keep working while it is only minimised to the tray.
