Execution Workflows
Rephlo offers multiple ways to trigger commands, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your current task.
1. The Global Hotkey (Keyboard)
Fastest for text operations.
- Select text in any application.
- Press the Context Menu Hotkey (default
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C). - Type to search for a command (e.g., "Sum..") and hit Enter.
- Result: The output streams in a progress dialog and is copied to your clipboard.
Tip: The hotkey can be customized in Settings > Hotkeys.

2. The System Tray (Mouse)
Good for mouse-heavy workflows.
- Select text.
- Click the Rephlo icon in the System Tray.
- The Command Runner opens with your text pre-loaded.
- Click a command.
3. Drag and Drop
Good for processing files.
- Drag a text file or PDF from your desktop.
- Drop it onto the Rephlo Tray Icon or Dashboard.
- Rephlo will ask if you want to:
- Add to Space: Import it.
- Process: Run a command on its content immediately.
4. Screenshot / Vision Commands
For images, diagrams, and UI analysis.
- Trigger the Screenshot feature (default hotkey:
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S). - Draw a rectangle around the area of interest.
- Rephlo captures the image.
- Select a Vision Command (e.g., "Describe Image", "Extract Text").
- Rephlo analyzes the image and returns the text result in the Screenshot Analysis Result dialog.
Tip: The screen capture hotkey can be customized in Settings > Hotkeys.
