This is why it is recommend setting up a system-level shortcut. This ensures the best performance and compatibility with your desktop environment.

1. Open Settings -> Keyboard -> View and Customize Shortcuts.
2. Go to Custom Shortcuts -> Add Shortcut.
3. Name: Miniclip Show
4. Command: miniclip show
5. Shortcut: Your preferred combo (e.g., Super+V or Ctrl+Alt+G).
