Until recently, I have used CTRL+SHIFT+Backspace exclusively for SpecialK and nothing else. But now I use that hotkey for other stuff and so there is a hotkey conflict and it is making my life difficult. I would really like a way to customize SpecialK’s hotkey to something else, to whatever I like. Is there a way to do that?
this feature has been added to the latest Nightly, see Discord Nightlies for that ASAP or later when it gets pushed to an Installer/SKIF update.
Hey! I get why that’s driving you crazy — hotkey conflicts can mess up your whole flow. SpecialK does allow you to change the shortcut, but it’s tucked away in the config. Just open the SpecialK.ini file (either in the game directory or the global injector folder), look for the [Input] section, and you should see entries for the hotkeys. You can swap the default combo with something like Ctrl+Alt+F10 or whatever works better for you, as long as you follow the same formatting.
I remember seeing a helpful explanation about tweaking config-based shortcuts on Red Rocket Software, which made the whole process a bit clearer for me. If anything still acts weird after you switch the keybind, feel free to drop an update — someone here has probably wrestled with the same issue. Good luck getting your setup sorted!
