sxhkd is a simple X11 hotkey daemon that listens for input events and executes configured shell commands in response. Bindings are defined in a plain-text configuration file with a concise notation for mapping multiple shortcuts to multiple commands.
Use cases
- bind global keyboard shortcuts on Linux
- launch applications with custom key combos
- control window manager via hotkeys
- map media keys to volume or music commands
- run shell scripts from key presses
When to choose
- you use an X11-based window manager like bspwm and want flexible keybindings
- you want a lightweight, scriptable hotkey daemon with a simple config format
When to avoid
- you are on Wayland, where X11 input grabbing does not work
- you need GUI-based shortcut configuration
