📄 Description

Fixes #343.

This implements configurable hotkeys for rec and play commands.

Example config file:

[record]

; Define hotkey for pausing recording (suspending capture of output),
; default: C-\
pause_key = C-p

; Define hotkey prefix key - when defined other recording hotkeys must
; be preceeded by it, default: no prefix
prefix_key = C-a

[play]

; Define hotkey for pausing/resuming playback,
; default: space
pause_key = p

; Define hotkey for stepping through playback, a frame at a time,
; default: . (dot key)
step_key = ]
