Glyph is a keyboard shortcut manager for Linux that lets you search and recall shortcuts from all your applications in one place. Instead of hunting through documentation websites, PDF cheatsheets, or configuration files, you store every shortcut in a single text file per application and search them all instantly through a lightweight popup window. The tool opens with a global keyboard shortcut of your choice. When it appears, you type a keyword and the list filters in real time with matches highlighted. Pressing Enter copies the shortcut to your clipboard and closes the window. The full interaction takes under a second. The README is written in Spanish but the tool itself works in any environment. Glyph is built in Rust with a native graphical interface, not a web-based one. The resulting program is a single file around 7 megabytes with no browser engine inside. Shortcuts are stored in the TOML plain-text format. Built-in importers can read the existing configuration files of tools like Zed, Tmux, LazyVim, and Omarchy and convert their shortcuts automatically. If you edit a configuration file while Glyph is open, the changes appear immediately without restarting the app. Search supports filters that scope results to a specific application (for example, typing a prefix to limit results to only Tmux shortcuts), custom aliases for shortcuts you rename, and visual highlighting of matched characters. There is also a command-line interface for scripting and automation alongside the graphical window. Installation is available as a precompiled binary download for Linux or by compiling from source using the Rust toolchain. The project is released under the MIT license.
