Expose features on commandline interface #80

It would be nice to be able to fav a song using a global shortcut by assigning for example "harmony --like-current" to some shortcut in the shortcut manager of my system.

Other use cases could be starting a Radio for the current song in GooglePlay (This would mean exposing these features on a plugin base, i don't know if thats easily possible), toggling shuffle mode, starting the standard discover mode of a specific plugin ('--discover spotify' would start data.spotify.discover[0]) or launching a playlist by name ('--playlist MyPlaylist')

If you plan on implementing a 'hide to tray' feature these shortcuts could be used to launch harmony hidden, automatically playing a playlist or discover using only one shortcut...

shortcuts for plugins would probably not be so hard: something like "--service googlepm-radio" could simply try to start the function 'ctl("radio")' of the googlepm plugin, and do nothing if it doesn't exist.

Keyboard shortcut registering is ezpz in electron, maybe we should open this app up to be driven by keyboard if the user wants?
