Hot Key to Restore KeePass Window</h2>
<p>To quickly switch back from an application to KeePass, you can use the
global hot key that restores the KeePass main window.</p>
<p>If you have multiple instances of KeePass running, pressing the global hot
key will restore the first instance that has been started.</p>
<p>The global hot key is <kbd><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd></kbd>.</p>
The hot key can freely be changed to a different key combination
(or disabled) in the 'Options' dialog, tab page 'Integration'.
<br /><br />
<a name="singleinstance"></a>
<h2 class="sectiontitle">
<img src="../images/b16x16_kcmsystem.png" class="singleimg" alt="Info" /> Limit
to Single Instance Option</h2>
<p>If you enable the <i>'Limit to Single Instance'</i> option, at most one KeePass instance can
be running at a time. If you try to start a second KeePass instance, it is
immediately terminated, and the first instance is brought to
the foreground.</p>
KeePass 2.x can open multiple databases in one instance/window (a tab bar appears,
which allows you to conveniently switch between the databases).<br />
<br />
When multiple databases are opened in one instance and you press the
global auto-type hot key, auto-type searches in all opened databases for
matching entries. Note that only exactly one KeePass instance can register
the global hot key; so when you disable the single instance option and
open databases in different instances, only the first instance searches
for matching entries when global auto-type is invoked, not the others.
