(Request) Global Hotkey Support for Tracker #1

Hey there.

I recently found your tracker and thought it was useful for streaming. Works fine as a Browser Source in OBS (just needs manual cropping and Interact toggled on to use), but for speedrunning, using hotkeys is more convenient when not using a tablet or self hosting.

If this is not currently possible, alternative options might be welcome. There are applications that can control where a mouse click happens on the screen but I’m not sure how that all would work or how consistent it could be.

Hey Brad,I will certainly prioritize this feature whenever I start working on this project again. I think that I would ideally have it automatically track using a lua script, but I think hotkeys would also be a great alternative option, especially if the speedrunning community would disallow the use of an automatic tracking feature. I think the functionality for hotkeys wouldn’t be too bad to implement, but it might be awkward due to the browser needing to be the active window. Maybe I could find a way to allow background input or something, would just have to play with it and see. Thanks for your interest in the project! I will hopefully find some time to continue work on this in the near future.

Made a tutorial on one way to use your overlay that would at least help streamers doing runs: https://youtu.be/z6y7sDbsyiQ
