Add an option to use keyboard hooks? #20

The app is amazing and i use it often on discord, but when gaming I can't really use it since the hotkeys are either making the keys not work as they're supposed to (for example if you have something hotkey'd to 'w' you won't be able to type in text containing 'w'), or they don't work at all in some games (like league of legends). Ik that not everyone can/wants to use keyboard hooks on their pc, so why not make it an option?

Glad you are enjoying this project although I can't work to much on it :) Can you elaborate on what behavior you would expect? Global hotkeys should ideally not be mapped to primary keys like w and most games have priority over Shortcut mapping. I'm also heavily limited by the API provided by Electron when it comes to listening to global events.
