## Available Global Shortcuts

### Application

### Tracking

- **Trigger Short Break** to start a short break immediately
- **Trigger Long Break** to start a long break immediately

### Web Blocker

## How To Set A Shortcut

1. Open **Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts**.
2. Click the recorder beside the action you want.
3. Press the key combination you want to use.
4. Test it outside Chronoid to make sure it does not conflict with another app.

To remove a shortcut, click the recorder and clear it.

## Recommended Uses

- Assign **Open Report** if you review reports often during the day.
- Assign **Toggle Tracking** if you regularly pause tracking for private or off-the-clock work.
- Assign **Toggle Pomodoro Timer** if you start focus sessions throughout the day.

## Notes

- Global shortcuts must be unique enough to avoid conflicts with macOS or other apps.
- Chronoid records these shortcuts immediately, so changes take effect as soon as you finish recording them.
