global_hotkey lets you register Global HotKeys for Desktop Applications.

Example

use global_hotkey::{GlobalHotKeyManager, hotkey::{HotKey, Modifiers, Code}};

// initialize the hotkeys manager
let manager = GlobalHotKeyManager::new().unwarp();

// construct the hotkey
let hotkey = HotKey::new(Some(Modifiers::SHIFT), Code::KeyD).unwrap();

// register it
manager.register(hotkey);

Processing global hotkey events

You can use GlobalHotKeyEvent::receiver to get a reference to the GlobalHotKeyEventReceiver which you can use to listen to the hotkey pressed events.

use global_hotkey::GlobalHotKeyEvent;

if let Ok(event) = GlobalHotKeyEvent::receiver().try_recv() {
    println!("{:?}", event);
}
