Shortcut keys - ScreenShepherd

This is worth setting up. It is probably the most useful five minutes you will spend on ScreenShepherd. Shortcut keys work from any app. That means the person running the service can stay in ProPresenter the whole time and never go looking for another window.

Setting them up

Go to the general tab, and find shortcuts. Click the box next to the one you want, then press the keys you want to use. That is it.

What you can set


start or stop listening	One key does both. If you only set one, set this.
next slide	The same as clicking next in ProPresenter.
previous slide
go back to the previous song	Undoes an automatic song change.
show the pill	Brings the small bar back to the operator’s screen.
open this window	Opens the full ScreenShepherd window.

Choosing keys

Pick combinations nothing else uses. Because these work everywhere, a shortcut you choose here will stop that same combination working in ProPresenter and every other app. Combinations with control and option in them are usually safe.

Write the two or three you actually use on a card and leave it in the booth. Whoever is on next week will not have read this page.
