FlowKey

FlowKey is a VS Code extension that combines a configurable HUD, a visual flow editor, and accessibility-first gesture and voice triggers.

What It Includes

  • HUD tile grid for one-click actions
  • Flow editor for building multi-step automations
  • Accessibility panel for gesture and voice aliases
  • Example flows loaded only from inside the Flow Editor toolbar

Accessibility Bindings

  • Select an available gesture figure
  • Choose HUD profile + tile in Accessibility panel
  • Bind figure to execute that HUD tile action (command/flow/terminal)

Core Commands

  • FlowKey: Open Window Launcher
  • FlowKey: Toggle HUD
  • FlowKey: Open Flow Editor
  • FlowKey: Open Accessibility Panel
  • FlowKey: Open Settings

Default Shortcuts

  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Alt+K
  • macOS: Cmd+Alt+K

FlowKey also supports direct feature shortcuts for:

  • Toggle HUD
  • Open Flow Editor
  • Open Accessibility

Each feature can have a primary shortcut, a double-press trigger, and an external device key.

Settings Highlights

  • Quick press shortcut
  • Long press (detected from repeated press while holding, with optional explicit double-press chord)
  • External device key (for macro pads/media keys that emit F13+ or media key codes)
  • Live HUD preview for grid, density, tile shape, dock position, and transparency
  • Command Access hints for common VS Code command IDs such as rename, quick open, save file, and git pull
