📄 Description

What this changes This adds configuration options for which characters will cause playback to pause and step through playback
Why I'm demoing Bolt at Puppetize Live next week, and wanted a tool that would allow me to look like I'm typing while having a predictable demo. There's a similar tool that does this, 'Demo easel', but it only works on OSX and Windows. Since I didn't want to mess with a VM during my demos, hacking this together seemed like the easiest way to get a close approximation.
