Add a hotkey to record / playback when not focused

[Azuretare]

This is likely on the to do list already, but I would really like this so I can use this tool in a game I play that already allows TinyTask. The only other close TinyTask alternative doesn't let you use the hotkey unless the program is focused, which is not useful for my use case. Thank you and if this is months or a year away I can wait, just letting it be known I would like the feature!

Hi, theres already the Ctrl key to stop it from playing but adding custom hotkey and expanding it to also make a hotkey for recording/launching playback would be a great idea. I had it in mind but idk when i'll add it, i'll see

It will be this month 100% but idk when, i'll keep you updated

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I tested it a bit and the UI definitely is nicer for binding than TinyTask given to switch between recording with f8 and playing I had to set both to ctrl+alt+shift or whatever (because it would let me have 2 hotkeys with that, but not with f8)

There seems to be some finnicky-ness sometimes with BiggerTask sometimes not wanting to bind a hotkey, after removing one. But if I open and close it and try and clear the slot I can get it to work. I'm using KDE (x11) if that might help on diagnosing it sometimes not wanting to bind a key (I was also trying to bind f7, f8, and the pause key)

Oh also I didn't realize at first the playback key isn't also the stop playback key, so I was trying to figure it out and closed the program but the script kept running even faster, so that's a weird interaction. (It's 3AM and I should sleep so I wasn't reading the UI fully before trying to set this up and replicate my Windows recording lol)

The "not binding a hotkey if theres already more than one" was an issue, but i thought i fixed it 0_0
And i didn't really understand that last part, yea the playback and stop playback are 2 different key ik it's to stop without accidently restarting but after i don't get what happened

The last part might have to do with that 1st bug, I was able to bind all 3 keys after some retries and I just tried the program again and I can't stop a recording I already started (started with f8, f7 doesn't stop it) with infinite loops, then if I close the program it keeps going until I hit f7 with it closed. Really weird but the stop key only worked when the program was closed.

Just tried to the above again and it didn't stop with f7 but closing the program did stop the recording from looping.

Edit: I then tried to unbind recording hotkey and that seemed to make the stop hotkey work, but then I couldn't start again even if I reloaded the recording until I restarted the program

i'll try fixing it soon
