virtual desktops? #860

Hi there, thank you for this fantastic piece of software. I was using obs before, ssr is far better for screen recording.

There is just one thing I may not have been able to understand is that, whatever options is chosen, the screen recorded always follows the active virtual desktop you're in. So, I cannot switch to another one while recording is on, the recorded streams follow me.

I've though openGL would solve that, but in fact, the openGL buffer stops to be filled if I am leaving the openGL virtual desktop. Maybe the windows select could actually force to stay on the selected windows?

cheers, chris.

I would like to be able to restrict to one virtual desktop too - so I can go and do things that do not show in the recording. And not give away the fact that there even are multiple screens let alone what I am doing there (Privacy issue).

Also, I would like to be able to pause and stop (with save) recording using hotkeys (eg ctrl-shft-alt P and ctrl-shft-alt S) ...
