Keyboard shortcuts
If you answer many connection alerts, the keyboard is the fastest way. Almost everything in the alert has a shortcut:
| ACTION | SHORTCUT |
|---|---|
| Show or hide the AI Assistant | H or ? |
| Show or hide the Internet Access Policy (IAP) | I |
| Show or hide the details | D |
| Show or hide the warnings | W |
| Show the next section (warnings, AI Assistant, IAP, details, notes) | C |
| Show the previous or the next section | Command-Left Arrow or Command-Right Arrow |
| Close the open section | Command-Up Arrow |
| Open the last open section again | Command-Down Arrow |
| Choose the duration Forever | 1 or F |
| Choose the next duration | 2 or Right Arrow |
| Choose the previous duration | 3 or Left Arrow |
| Choose the duration For 1 Minute | 0 |
| Choose the duration Until Quit | Q |
| Choose the duration Until Restart | R |
| Choose the duration Until Logout | L |
| Choose the duration Once (Little Snitch creates no rule) | O or hold down Shift |
| Choose the remote endpoint option Any Connection | A |
| Choose the previous remote endpoint option | Up Arrow |
| Choose the next remote endpoint option | Down Arrow |
| Cycle through the remote endpoint options | S |
| Cycle through the name options of the remote endpoint | N |
| Create the rule in the active profile or in all profiles | P |
| Create the rule in the active profile | 4 |
| Create the rule in all profiles | 5 |
| Deny the connection | Esc or Option-Return or Command-Period |
| Allow the connection | Return |
| Minimize the alert | Command-M |
The C key goes through the sections in the order of the buttons in the alert, and after the last one, it closes the section. Sections that don’t apply to the connection are skipped: the alert shows the Warnings and IAP buttons only when there’s something to show.
There’s one more shortcut for the duration: hold down the Control key to choose Forever. If Forever is already your default duration in the alert settings, the Control key chooses Until Quit instead.
