Proposal

I’m trying to trigger KeyClu from the CLI in a way that shows only my Custom Shortcuts (“My Shortcuts”) instead of all macOS or skhd shortcuts.

Right now, the documented CLI options let me do things like:

/Applications/KeyClu.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyClu --toggle-panel --sheet macos
/Applications/KeyClu.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyClu --toggle-panel --sheet skhd

These work well for system shortcuts and skhd hotkeys, but there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent option for the Custom Shortcuts view. I also tried:

/Applications/KeyClu.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyClu --toggle-panel --sheet custom

that doesn’t appear to be supported.

What I’d love is a CLI parameter that opens KeyClu directly into the “My Shortcuts” section, for example:

--sheet custom
--sheet global
--sheet my-shortcuts

I'd love to launch KeyClu programmatically (from a script, launcher, skhd, etc.) and immediately see only the shortcuts I’ve defined myself.

Alternatives

Right now the only workaround is:
• Launch KeyClu normally from the CLI or a hotkey
• Manually switch to the “My Shortcuts” section in the UI

That works, but it breaks the flow when triggering KeyClu from scripts or other tools. There doesn’t seem to be any CLI-level way to deep-link into the Custom Shortcuts view today.
