How Assignee Avoids Shortcut Conflicts (Even in Chrome)

If you've ever created a global shortcut like ⌘ + S and watched it break your ability to save in Chrome—you’ve felt the pain of shortcut conflicts.


Why It Happens

Most tools use global shortcuts, which override app-specific ones.

  • ⌘ + T might clash with browser tabs
  • ⌘ + S could block "Save"
  • ⌘ + P might conflict with print or file search

Assignee’s Approach: Local Shortcuts

In Assignee:

  1. Press Ctrl + Tab
  2. Then use any key—even system-wide ones like ⌘ + S
  3. Your shortcut only runs after activation, avoiding interference

This means you can:

  • Use ⌘ + P to jump to Preview
  • Use ⌘ + N to open Notion
  • Still retain all app-native shortcuts

Final Thoughts

Don’t let shortcut collisions slow you down. With Assignee’s local-first system, you get flexibility and reliability—without compromise.
