Every tool has a dedicated global shortcut, plus a handful of shortcuts for Dax itself (the launcher, Settings). All shortcuts below are the defaults. Rebind or clear any of them in Settings → Shortcuts (⌃ ⌥ H), so yours may differ.

New to Dax? How Dax works covers the launcher grid, activation, and offline behavior that apply to every tool below.

Quick reference

⌃ is Control, ⌥ is Option, and Return is the Return/Enter key. A dash in the Internet column means the tool works fully offline.

Dax shortcuts (not tools)

Managing tools

Every tool can be:
  • Enabled or disabled: Settings → Tools → (tool) → Enabled. Disabled tools don’t respond to their shortcut and are hidden from the launcher.
  • Rebound or cleared: Settings → Shortcuts (⌃ ⌥ H).
  • Reordered or pinned in the launcher: Settings → Launcher.
Don’t have a shortcut memorized yet? Press ⌃ ⌥ Space for the launcher grid, where every tool is one click (or one number key) away.
