Why is my hotkey not responding?

If your Flow hotkey isn’t working, start by trying out the below.

​
1. If you have an external keyboard, we recommend a custom shortcut

Mac OS

  1. Flow might not recognize the Fn key on your external keyboard.
  2. Set a custom shortcut of your choice. We recommend keys like Ctrl , opt , space , shift , or f5 instead of letter keys.

    Note you cannot use: Caps lock, return, esc, volume, play, pause, music, brightness.
  3. You can set up to three keys as your shortcut.

Windows

  1. Flow might not recognize the Fn key on your keyboard.
  2. Set a custom shortcut of your choice. We recommend keys like Ctrl , opt , space , shift , or f5 instead of letter keys.

    Note you cannot use: Win, caps lock, return, esc, volume, play, pause, music, brightness.

  3. You can use **up to three keys **for your shortcut.

​
2. [MacOS] Make sure you’ve granted all the necessary permissions

In Privacy & Security, Wispr Flow should be toggled on

Under **Keyboard, **the 🌐 key should be set to Do Nothing

In Modifier Keys, 🌐 key should be set to 🌐 Globe

Function keys should be toggled off

I already use Fn for something else. Can I change my hotkey?

  1. Go to Flow Hub → Settings → Defaults → Change shortcut.
  2. Click the pencil icon next to edit, and then use your keyboard to select a new hotkey
