PinPoint’s global hotkey is the keyboard shortcut you press to pin or unpin the focused window. The default is Alt+P, but you can change it to any combination you prefer.

​
How to change your hotkey

1

Open Settings

Right-click the PinPoint tray icon and choose Settings.
2

Click the hotkey field

Click the field. It updates to show (click to record) to indicate it is listening for your new combination.
3

Press your new combination

Press the key combination you want to use — for example, Ctrl+Shift+P. The field updates immediately to show the combination you pressed.
4

Save

The hotkey is saved automatically. Close Settings or send PinPoint to the tray — your new hotkey is active immediately.

Hotkey rules

  • Your hotkey must include at least one modifier key (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Win).
  • Global hotkeys are exclusive — only one app can hold a combination at a time. If another app has already registered the same combination, PinPoint’s hotkey will not work.
  • The Windows key (Win) can be used in your hotkey combination. However, many Win+key combinations are reserved by Windows (for example, Win+E). If you choose a combination that Windows already claims, it will intercept the keypress before PinPoint can.
If your hotkey stops working, open Settings and re-record it. This re-registers the combination with Windows.
