Integration


How KeePass integrates into your operating system environment.

Info  Global Hot Key to Restore KeePass Window

To quickly switch back from an application to KeePass, you can use the global hot key that restores the KeePass main window.

If you have multiple instances of KeePass running, pressing the global hot key will restore the first instance that has been started.

The global hot key is Ctrl-Alt-K.

The hot key can freely be changed to a different key combination (or disabled) in the 'Options' dialog, tab page 'Integration'.

Info  Limit to Single Instance Option

If you enable the 'Limit to Single Instance' option, at most one KeePass instance can be running at a time. If you try to start a second KeePass instance, it is immediately terminated, and the first instance is brought to the foreground.
