Hotkeys allow you to control the application using keyboard shortcuts. This helps you use Screenbits without having its user interface included in the recorded video. Hotkeys work even when the application is minimized or not in the foreground.

Group Action Description Default
General Compact View (none) Switches to Compact view or back to the default view
Area Selection (none) Opens area selection tool to select an area from the screen
Recording Start / Stop recording Starts recording or stops it if recording is already started F10
Pause / Resume recording Pauses recording or resumes it if recording is already paused Shift+F10
Screenshot Captures a screenshot ALT+F10
Output audio Mute / Unmute Mutes output audio or unmutes it if output audio is already muted (none)
Input audio Mute / Unmute Mutes input audio or unmutes it if input audio is already muted (none)
Push-to-talk Unmutes input audio while the key is pressed (none)
Push-to-mute Mutes input audio while the key is pressed (none)
Mode Mode → X Changes capture mode to X (none)
Draw on Screen Draw on Screen Turns Draw on screen on/off (none)
Drawing tool / Pointer Toggles between the drawing tool and pointer modes when using Draw on screen feature (none)
Clear Clears current drawing (none)
Tool → X Selects drawing tool X (none)
Fadeout Enables fadeout or disables it if fadeout is already enabled (none)

Custom hotkeys

In order to assign a hotkey for an action:

  1. Select Settings from Menu to open Settings.
  2. Click Hotkeys from the side bar to open Hotkeys settings.
  3. Click on one of of the text boxes to enter a shortcut for an action.
  4. Hold the desired keys down on your keyboard so the combination appear in the box.

Notes:

  • Not all the key combinations are valid for a hotkey. You need to enter a valid key combination for each action to work.
  • Another application might have already registered a hotkey which makes it unusable for Screenbits.
  • Use delete (Del) key to clear a hotkey for an action.
