Hook just upgrated itself to 3.2.1 (4468; Integration v. 174) (MacOS 11.5.2) and it has changed the functionality of ^H. This has rendered Hook unusable for me (okay, I may be weird about control sequences).
I went to the Preferences and here’s what I see:
There seems to be no way to change this shortcut!!???
How do I fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Welcome to the Hook Productivity Forum , @zabouti.
Could you please try toggling Show Hook (enable/disable)? If it does not stick, please try it a second time.
You could also do the following from the command line (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) to disable this:
defaults write com.cogsciapps.hook "Show Hook Input Window (main)" 0
and to re-enable:
defaults write com.cogsciapps.hook "Show Hook Input Window (main)" 1
When you toggle the preference in the UI, you may see a warning triangle. If you hover over it, it will show a message.
If the change of shortcut preference does not take hold immediately, you may need to relaunch Hook.
LucB,
This seems to have done the trick. Kinda mysterious, but that’s good enough for me.
Thanks so much for your quick help,

I see Show Hook in the popup and an input cursor but it doesn’t accept any typing or other means of enabling/disabling. Not too important now that I have the command line commands.
Thanks for letting us know about the problem (we’ve logged an issue report), and that the work-around got you back up and running.
Sorry about this issue, @octplane .
From your setting, both control+H and shift+command+space should invoke Hookmark window.
Do you mean Control+H does not inovke Hookmark window?
Thank you
Sorry, my issue is that I can’t rebind this key, the field is grayed out.
Currently, you can’t edit this shortcut(control+H). You can only enable/disable it.
If you want to have a different shortcut to invoking Hookmark window, please edit the second one, the additional shortcut for Show Hookmark context window.
Thank you
Ha, that makes sense! Thanks!
I succeeded in changing it to opt+cmd+H or something like that. I’m not looking at my computer right now
