[Suggestion] Change default short

[Daniel Caldas]

I'm using this and loving it so far ❤️ . One thing that is conflicting with my workflow. The default shortcut to open omni is Command+K. Don't take me wrong, this is configurable through the chrome://extensions/shortcuts panel, but I think the right default shortcut would be Shift+Command+K, for the following reasons:

• And many text editors (e.g. Github text fields) Command+K is the default shortcut to add links to selected text in markdown
• In Slack Command+K is the most used shortcut to navigate DMs
• maybe others?

Anyways, since I'm foreseeing quote a lot of users running into the above I would suggest the suggested default key to change to

"commands": {
	"open-omni": {
		"suggested_key": {
			"default": "Ctrl+Shift+K",
			"mac": "Command+Shift+K"
		},
		"description": "Open command menu"
	}
},

I'm open to changing it, if users don't mind. The only thing is I'm not sure what will happen with existing users, I wonder if it will stay the same for them. Otherwise it would be a big problem as Command+K wouldn't work anymore. So yeah hmm...

True, anyways you're already mentioning this in the README.md, so it shouldn't be too hard to find it.

ou can change the shortcut by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts

I could maybe make it super prominent after you install the extension somehow, like "are you ok using command+k or do you want to change this?". But there's plenty of users who just automatically close the page anyway, so might not be that effective.

Maybe keep monitoring, if you see users are looking a lot at this issue, that will give you the hint that something should be done about it.

Thanks for the extension btw, great work.

True. Many websites including Tailwind CSS or Vercel Dashboard have the same quick search shortcut (Command+K). This plugin would prevent accessing the common website functionality.

One idea could be to display a text saying that users would have to press Command+K again to jump to the website's provided quick search bar. But actually I find it annoying, e.g. when Stripe documentation overrides the default Command+F page search shortcut:

On the other hand, this could be a good in-between solution that others might like (and Stripe decided to do it, so maybe it's not that bad)

Just changed it to Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K. I've looked it up and it shouldn't change the shortcut for users who already have the extension installed, so should be fine.

Thank you for the update. Sorry to raise this again, but what should user do if they have another extension (e.g. Notion Web Clipper) using the same "Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K" shortcut, but wanting to access Omni? Could they maybe customize the shortcut?

Otherwise the only option is to disable, in this case Notion Web Clipper.

You can change the shortcut here: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
