Global next/previous track shortcuts

[MoonlitMonitor]

One of my extra mouse buttons is mapped to play/pause. Whether or not I have Nuclear in focus, that mouse button can be used to play/pause in Nuclear, unless I have other sources playing in other programs.

However, two of the other extra mouse buttons are mapped to 'next track' and 'previous track', but I can only use these on Nuclear when the application is in focus.

It would be helpful if I could go to the next/previous track without having Nuclear in focus.

OS: Windows 11

There's a method to do this but there's a caveat to making it multiplatform: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/global-shortcut#globalshortcutregisteraccelerator-callback

The following accelerators will not be registered successfully on macOS 10.14 Mojave unless the app has been authorized as a trusted accessibility client:

"Media Play/Pause"
"Media Next Track"
"Media Previous Track"
"Media Stop"

If I understood correctly, this doesn't seem to be a problem on Windows or Linux, but on macOS users would have to authorize the application by allowing it to use special permissions? If so, is that a security concern that would stop you from adding this feature?

There are no security concerns here. If anyone wants to contribute this feature I'll be glad to merge it.

Linux playerctl also lacks the ability to skip songs
