How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

On macOS, the desktop app assigns Command+H to navigate to its "Home" screen. This overrides the default macOS system shortcut (Command+H), which is used to hide the active window or app. Overriding system-level shortcuts reduces usability and conflicts with user expectations.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the AnythingLLM Desktop app.
  2. Press Command+H.

Expected Behavior

Pressing Command+H should hide the app, following macOS conventions.

Actual Behavior

The app navigates to its Home screen instead.

System Info

  • macOS version: 15.5 (24F74)
  • Desktop app version: 1.8.2
