Describe the bug
The user interface for setting global hotkey is a bit tripping. While the global hotkey currently is intended to be set either for the quake mode window or show/hide all windows, the user interface allows settings different hotkeys for each of them. That gives an impression that you would be able to activate either of the hotkeys which is not the case.
To reproduce
- Go to settings > global hotkey.
- Choose Dedicated hotkey window. See option to set keyboard shortcut.
- Now choose Show/hide all windows. See option to set keyboard shortcut. And you can have different shortcuts while only one of the above options can be chosen.
Expected behavior
Unless Warp supports activating either of the shortcuts / options, the UI should ask only one KB shortcut.
One could argue that it is in fact handy to have different shortcuts for each option, the UI will be a bit confusing to new users and even existing ones who have not used this feature before. In practice, users will choose one or other option and stay with it. So UI to configure a single shortcut makes sense currently.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?
No
Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)
N/A, the issue only applies to a Warp specific feature. (i.e. Warp AI, Workflows)

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start at Settings > Global hotkey and trace how the Dedicated hotkey window and Show/hide all windows options configure shortcuts. Done means the UI presents one shortcut configuration for the mutually exclusive choices, unless activating both shortcuts is supported.
