How KeePass integrates into your operating system environment.

Global
Hot Key to Restore KeePass Window
To quickly switch back from an application to KeePass, you can use the
global hot key that restores the KeePass main window.
If you have multiple instances of KeePass running, pressing the global hot
key will restore the first instance that has been started.
KeePass 1.x Only
The global hot key is Ctrl-Alt-K. You cannot change this hot key.
KeePass 2.x Only
You can set the hot key in the 'Options' dialog, tab page 'Integration'.
Limit
to Single Instance Option
If you enable the 'Limit to Single Instance' 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.
KeePass 1.x Only
If the second instance was started using a command line specifying a database to open,
and the first instance doesn't have a sub-dialog open,
the first instance attempts to close the current database.
If this attempt is successful (or if no database was open in the first place),
the first instance opens the database
specified by the second instance's command line, using any -pw or
-keyfile options specified by the second instance.
All other command line options in the second instance are ignored.
