After Installation

By default, Quick Open feature can be accessed using the shortcut <kbd>Ctrl+P</kbd>. However, it's important to be aware that this shortcut is already assigned to the Print... command.

To resolve this conflict, follow these steps:

1. Open the application and navigate to Settings > Shortcut Mapper...
2. In the Shortcut Mapper window, use the filter input at the bottom to search for the Print... command.
3. Once located, clear the existing shortcut assigned to the Print... command.

Or assign your favorite key to Quick Open....
