Ability to use shortcuts globally #4

The ability to use the shortcuts while using other applications would be awesome, thanks for the app!

If you are using Chromium, it is possible right now:

  1. Open chrome://extensions/configureCommands
  2. Switch preferred shortcuts' scope to Global:

  3. That is all. Global shortcuts should work even when Chrome isn’t ‘in focus’. Keep in mind that Global shortcuts can interfere with regular desktop app shortcuts.

If you are using Firefox, it is not implemented yet, but should be possible at some point in future.
See #1 for more details.

Ps. I've updated README to include these instructions. Thanks for the idea! 👍
