This is my jam submission and progress after a week of work😊.

Features that I wasn't able to deliver on:

  • hotkey conflict resolution
  • persistent mappings via configs
  • text edit widget for program name

Features I was able to deliver on:

  • hotkey recording
  • file explorer for selecting exe's to bind to
  • launch programs with hotkeys

VIDEO NOTE: In the video submission, there are three predefined hotkey entries to demo what a conflict would look like. Clicking on the "Conflicts [Fix]" highlighted in yellow, would take you to the "Conflicts" tab where the user will be able to change hotkeys. The "Conflicts" tab would have rows of grouped conflicting hotkeys, that the user can scroll through and resolve.

Thank you for taking the time to go though my submission! I'll definitely be working in my spare time to complete this project and I'm looking forward to watching the live stream demos 😊.
