Use Services for Systemwide Shortcuts
In macOS, a service is a special, context-sensitive program that can operate almost anywhere. You can find services on the Services submenu of the application menu (that is, the menu with the current app’s name). Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) something and choose a service from the very bottom of the contextual menu. (Services appear on a Services submenu of the contextual menu if more than four of them are active and applicable to whatever you selected.)
