Using Global Hot Kues
Open full view...Categories: Advanced options
When Global Hot Kues is on, your audio will trigger even if another program is running. This lets you run a second program simultaneously with KueIt. If Global Hot Kues is off, you can still toggle between KueIt and another program by using the key combination below:
| Mac | Windows |
|---|---|
| ⌘ + Tab | Alt + Tab |
The keyboard function will only work on the program that is currently in focus, unless Global Hot Kues is turned on (in which case the keyboard functions will trigger the KueIt audio even if KueIt is not in focus).
Note: the Global Hot Kues function is disabled when KueIt is first installed.
Starting with macOS Mojave, you will need to make a system adjustment in order to use Global Hot Kues:
Apple made some changes in Mojave where you need to adjust a setting to get Global Hot Kues to work in KueIt. In your System Preferences, go to Security & Privacy tab. Then, click on Accessibility in the list on the left. Click on the lock on the bottom left corner of the window to unlock it (you will need to enter a password to change this). Once unlocked, on the right list, click on the button and add the KueIt app to the list. Once you confirm adding KueIt, click on the lock icon again to lock it. Once you added KueIt to your trusted list, you will be able to use Global Hot Kues.
How to Enable/Disable the Global Hot Kues:
In the Keyboard section of the Preferences Window, check the box next to Enable Global Hot Kues. When Global Hot Kues is enabled, you can still use shortcut keys to quickly turn this function on or off. Clicking the ` (back quote) key will turn Global Hot Kues on, and clicking the \ (backslash) key will turn Global Hot Kues off.
Note: if Global Hot Kues is not enabled in the Preferences window, Global Hot Kues and the Global Hot Kue On/Off shortcut keys will not work at all. This is to protect you from accidentally enabling Global Hot Kues.
