# Hotkey

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.

> [!TIP]
>
> If your hotkey stops working, open Settings and re-record it. This re-registers the combination with Windows.
