Nothing breaks a workflow faster than a shortcut that silently does the wrong thing. If you remap keys across tools, conflicts are inevitable. Paste your custom shortcut list and this detector highlights duplicates within your list and clashes with common system and application defaults — so you can fix the collisions before they cost you an accidental delete or misplaced action.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Features

Everything you get with this tool — free, unlimited and right in your browser.

Duplicate detection

Scan your custom list for shortcuts mapped to more than one action, so you never silently overwrite a bind.

System clash checker

Your shortcuts are compared against a built-in database of OS and app defaults — Cmd+Space, Ctrl+S and friends.

Conflict explanations

Every clash comes with a plain-language explanation and a suggested fix, so you know exactly what to remap.

Handles any format

Paste shortcuts in common formats — Ctrl+Shift+T, CMD+K, ctrl alt f — and the parser normalises them all.

How to use

How to use

Get started in a few simple steps.

Paste one shortcut per line, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+T, Cmd+K. Include the action name after a dash or tab if you like.

Press scan. The tool normalises every shortcut and compares it against your list and the system database.

Duplicates and clashes are grouped with explanations. Green items are conflict-free.

Remap the flagged shortcuts in your app, then scan again until everything is green.

Tips & recommendations

Tips & recommendations

Pro tips to get the most out of this tool.

Check before you remap, not after

Run your planned binds through the detector before configuring the app. Fixing in advance saves a week of confusion.

Beware global system shortcuts

Ctrl+Shift+anything, Alt+Tab and Cmd+Space are reserved by most operating systems — the detector flags them by default.

Keep one shortcuts file

Maintain a single text file of all your binds. Paste it here every time you add something new.

Standardise the modifier order

Write Ctrl+Shift+T consistently. The normaliser handles variations, but consistency keeps your own file readable.
