How about Hot Key?

[Lawrence-of-AnKing]

While I change the space to space_fn, it works bad on some games like Don't Starve, and some software like PS.

Will you add hot key to start/stop a configurations?

Instead of adding global keybind to kanata-tray itself (this would be platform-dependent, and on linux also DE/WM-dependent), an easier solution would be to bind a key in kanata to send a custom tcp event, and then listen for it in kanata-tray.

Kanata already has a way to send custom messages via tcp https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/ac27bdb58b28ac915964aad273a186e7a9d8d9ce/tcp_protocol/src/lib.rs#L11C5-L11C16, so only kanata-tray side implementation would be needed

I just realized, that only stopping (aka pausing) would be possible this way. Unpausing won't be able to work, because kanata will not be working.

2 other ideas:

• ipc (tcp?)
• daemon + client cli to control the daemon
