Productivity

Once you spend more than five minutes a day in HookSense, the keyboard shortcuts and browser notifications start saving real time. None of these need to be enabled — they all work out of the box.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The inspector has Vim-style navigation. Most shortcuts work anywhere except when a text input is focused.

Request List

Key	Action
j	Next request
k	Previous request
g g	Jump to most recent (top)
G	Jump to oldest (bottom)
/	Focus search box
Esc	Clear search / unfocus

Request Detail

Key	Action
r	Open replay dialog
c	Copy request as cURL
y	Copy permalink to current request
1 / 2 / 3	Switch tabs (Body / Headers / Meta)
?	Show shortcut cheat sheet overlay

Global

Key	Action
⌘ K / Ctrl K	Quick switcher (jump between endpoints)
g h	Go home (endpoint list)
g d	Go to docs

Browser Notifications

Get a desktop notification when a webhook arrives — useful when the inspector is in a background tab and you're waiting for a specific event.

Enable

1. Click the Bell icon in the endpoint toolbar
2. Approve the browser permission prompt
3. Optionally narrow which requests trigger a notification:
   • All requests
   • Failed only (4xx / 5xx)
   • Verified only (HMAC-checked)
   • Match search query

Notifications include the HTTP method, source IP, and a body preview. Click the notification to jump back to the request in the inspector.

Throttling

To avoid notification storms during traffic spikes, HookSense rate-limits to one notification per 2 seconds per endpoint. Suppressed events still show in the inspector — only the OS-level toast is throttled.

Bookmarklets & Quick Actions

• Copy webhook URL — clicking the URL pill in the toolbar copies and shows a toast
• Direct request links — every captured request has a permanent URL: /endpoint/SLUG/request/REQ_ID. Bookmarkable, shareable (within your team), survives reload.
• Pinned requests (Hook+) — pin up to 5 requests per endpoint to keep them at the top of the list

All productivity features are available on every plan unless noted otherwise.
