What issue do you have?

Hello Joplin Team,

I've been using Joplin extensively and appreciate its features. However, I'm missing a quick way to access Joplin, similar to global shortcuts in other apps. Is there a way to set up a global shortcut to bring Joplin to the foreground? If not, I believe adding this feature would greatly enhance productivity and ease of access for users.

Thank you for your hard work and for considering this suggestion.

I agree, a native cross-platform solution would be nice to have.

Workarounds for Windows include using an AutoHotKey file and pressing Win + Joplin's pinned taskbar icon number.
