Keyboard shortcuts
BundleHound works from the keyboard alone: the search field has the cursor when the list opens, and the arrow keys move through the list from there.
List window#
Keys for searching, copying and opening the information page.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Type | Search by name or bundle ID. The search field has the cursor whenever the list opens. |
| ↓ ↑ | Move the selection, also while the cursor is in the search field. |
| ⌘C | Copy the selected apps’ bundle IDs, one per line. With nothing selected, copy every row shown. In the search field with text selected, copy that text. |
| Double-click | Copy the app’s bundle ID. |
| ⌘I | Open the selected app’s information, or compare several selected apps side by side. |
| Escape | Clear the search field. With the field empty, close the list window when it is attached under the menu-bar icon. |
| ⌘R | Refresh: read the running apps again (View ▸ Refresh). |
| ⌘, | Open Settings. |
| ⌘Q | Quit BundleHound. |
Good to know
- ⌘, and ⌘Q work while BundleHound is the active app. The menu-bar icon’s right-click menu has the same two items, Settings… and Quit BundleHound.
- A selected row that a filter or the list length now hides does not count as selected. ⌘C then copies every row shown.
- Copying is explained in Copying and exporting, the information page in App information.
Information page#
Two keys take you back to the list.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| ⌘[ | Back to the list. |
| Escape | Back to the list. |
Good to know
- On the information page Escape goes back first. On the list, with the list window attached under the menu-bar icon, the next Escape closes the window.
Settings#
Two places in Settings take keys.
| Where | Keys | What they do |
|---|---|---|
Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Last-used apps shown |
↑ ↓ | Step the number up or down. |
Settings ▸ Snippets |
Return | OK: save the snippet. In the Template box Return adds a line instead. |
Settings ▸ Snippets |
Escape | Cancel: drop a new snippet, or undo the changes to an existing one. |
Good to know
- OK and Cancel are greyed out until you change the snippet. See Snippets.
Welcome tour#
The tour has five pages. Keys move through them.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| → | Next page. |
| ← | Previous page. |
| Return | Continue, or Get Started on the last page. |
Note: On the first-launch question “Connect to the App Store?”, Return chooses neither Allow nor Don’t Allow. Click your answer. See Getting started.
