Open with global hotkey

[TheLastProject]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is currently no way to open Pext using a global hotkey, except by setting up your OS to do so.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make it possible to open Pext using a global hotkey.

Additional context
On macOS, there seems to be no way to do this from within python, users need to create a service using Automator. We need a cross-platform solution for this.

@Pext/packagers @Pext/testers @Pext/translators This will be a rather important decision, so I'm pinging everyone involved in Pext: What should the default global hotkey for Pext be?

[TheLastProject]

@VenomousDingo suggested Ctrl+F1. The idea being that F1 is for the help dialog. Discussing together, we decided this could mean Ctrl+F1 could be "Help me get things done", which I feel fits Pext's purpose.

@TheLastProject I totally understand the reasoning and it sounds logical. However, on an increasing number of laptops (and also MacBooks), you also have to press the Fn button. Pressing Ctrl+Fn+F1 is very, very cumbersome as you need two hands to comfortably perform the shortcut. Maybe Ctrl + ` could be an option? A lot of people already press that button to bring up a drop-down terminal (like Guake or Yakuake) so a lot of devs are familiar with that button and it doesn't require anyone (on any laptop) to press the Fn button. So it's a very quick, comfortable and semi-familiar one-handed shortcut.

816ea54 kinda solves it, but documentation is still needed.

Of course it doesn't work in macOS. Don't know if that even needs resolving

What's to be done with this? From comments it reads like it's already been done.

It doesn't work on macOS (and is untested on Windows)
