A hotkey that makes window very transparent while it is pressed

Since I am using it as an overlay, it would be awesome to be able to quickly hide the text so I can see the image behind, if I need to check something behind the text, like focus or other elements of the shot.

There are also various ways in which the same effect could be achieved:

  1. The entire window could become very transparent while a key is pressed.
  2. The prompter's contents could become very transparent while a key is pressed.
  3. Pressing a key could place QPrompt's window behind all windows and pressing it again could place it in front of all windows.

Notes:

  1. Users could find themselves stuck with an invisible text or window and have no idea how to come back. Maybe this shortcut be desabled by default and users would have to deliberately configure it in order to use it?
  2. Screen projection opacity shouldn't be influenced by this functionality.
  3. I know making the window transparent would work on both Linux and WIndows. But I must do some experiments first to know whether that would work on macOS.

Implemented, not while pressed but when pressed.
