Hello HN! Maker of Keycheck.dev here.
Keycheck is an open-source web app that lets you quickly find consistent and conflict-free shortcuts for your app. Currently featuring over 100 apps, and 1400 shortcuts.
When designing keyboard shortcuts for our main app - acreom (https://acreom.com/), we wanted to create a great keyboard user experience. This involves designing shortcuts which are easy to hit, easy to remember, and do not clash with the system shortcuts. We have learned that there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel and it’s easier to follow conventions from other popular apps to achieve this. Finding this out, however, was frustrating, and involved lots of manual work of downloading and signing in to other apps.
We decided to solve this problem and open-source our solution to help other makers in the process of designing shortcuts. You can match any key combination against combinations of other apps, search shortcuts by their keybinds, descriptions, or by app, and explore the apps and see their shortcuts. Feel free to play around and explore all the possibilities.
The code is fully open-sourced (https://github.com/Acreom/keycheck) and contributions are welcome! If you are a maker, feel free add your app to help other makers and increase visibility for your own project.
Looking forward to the feedback!
