App Shortcuts

System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts… › App Shortcuts

home-manager · per user ✓ Verified on macOS 27

Keys for menu items, per app by bundle identifier or "All Applications", by the menu item's title; a title in a submenu is written with its menus, "Format->Font->Bold". Keys are written like "⌘⇧S" (see Keyboard Shortcuts…). Each app listed gets exactly these; apps left out keep theirs, e.g. { "com.apple.TextEdit" = { "Make Plain Text" = "⌘⇧T"; }; }.

applications.systemSettings.keyboard.keyboardShortcuts.appShortcuts.menuItems = {
  "com.apple.TextEdit" = {
    "Make Plain Text" = "⌘⇧T";
  };
};

Per app, by bundle identifier (see the example)

Services left out are left as they are; nix run .#current lists the ones that were changed in System Settings.
