Add keyboard-shortcut to call qnotero

[J83]

It would be great to enable a keyboard-shortcut such as Ctrl-Shift-Q for qnotero - mouse operation is quite slow...

Thanks for your feedback.

You can activate Qnotero through a keyboard shortcut, simply by adding a shortcut to start the program (how this is done depends on your set-up, of course). If Qnotero is already running, starting it again will cause the window to appear.

Cheers!

In case anyone else is wondering, you can easily set this up on Linux with the hotkey program Autokey. Once Autokey is installed, simply create a new script (not a phrase, a script) with the following one line:

system.exec_command('qnotero')

That is a Python command that will launch the program, effectively toggling it. In Autokey's settings for that script you can assign whatever hotkey you like.

Something similar is easily set up on Windows (with AutoHotKey) and Mac (I believe using TextExpander), but I'm not familiar with the details.

Thank you, that's a very useful tip!
