Modifier Key Configuration

WinPin records any combination of Control, Option, and Command as your modifier key. Shift is reserved for the Organizer variant (Mod+Shift+Tab).

Conflict warnings: Some modifier combos conflict with macOS system shortcuts. WinPin shows a warning if you choose Command alone (conflicts with the app switcher) or other known problematic combinations.
