how do i re-enable the menu bar

[stefan-zonguru]

I told command shift to hide from the menu bar permanently and now want to change my hotkey from cmd-shift to opt-shift but I cannot find it anywhere.

Is there a way I can get the app to re-appear on the menu bar? I tried restarting, reinstalling and nothing has worked.

Hi @stefan-zonguru!

Please run the following command from Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) :

defaults write vasybaran.lovefromukraine.commandshift.CommandShift "tray_icon.hide" -bool false

and then restart CommandShift (kill it using Activity Monitor or just restart your Mac)
BTW, the latest version of CommandShift has an option to either hide icon form the tray menu perfmanently or only until the next restart ;-)

I hope this will help. Thank you for using CommandShift!

hi @VasylBaran

Thank you for your response. I tried this but unfortunately it isn't working. Please see the below video for a demo:

same, doesnt work

[VasylBaran]

@stefan-zonguru @roi007leaf I've just created a new release where I explicitly set settings-file location to /Users/<user_name>/.config/commandShift.ini

Please use CommandShift from that release, after installing it you should be able to see CommandShift in the tray menu and if you choose to hide it again - then in the future you can just delete this settings file (/Users/<user_name>/.config/commandShift.ini) or modify it (replace white_tray_icon=true with white_tray_icon=false or remove this entry from the file entirely)

Please give it a try and let me know the results 😉

v.1.04:
