Key Decisions
1.
Hotkey Configuration
The chosen hotkeys always ended up clashing with hotkeys in various applications. Added a hotkey configurator to allow users to choose their own hotkeys.
2.
Key Suppression
To execute the hotkey, the keys must be suppressed to prevent the key from inserting. Had to carefully add the key suppression logic to prevent key blocking, which would disrupt the user's flow.
