AutoDarkMode
More user-friendly Hotkeys assignment User interface
Currently, assigning one of several hotkeys requires an unusual process that needs to be done in this order :
- Turning off 'Enable system-wide hotkeys'
- Entering the hotkeys you want in the user interface
- Then turning on 'Enable system-wide hotkeys'
The problem is for any none Auto Dark Mode advanced user, it is not an usual way to specify hotkeys. In most apps (ex: Ditto, Flow Launcher), you just have to enter the hotkey, without having to fiddle with an on/off writing switch.
Here is are examples of user friendly hotkey setting interface:
This is taken from Flow Launcher, an other opensource application for Windows. As you can see there is no on/off writing switch to enter the hotkeys.
This is taken from Ditto, an other opensource application for Windows. There is a lot hotkeys that can be entered, and there is no on/off switch for entering these hotkeys.

Now we have finished the design of the new hotkey interface. It will appear in Version 11 soon.

@Armin2208 @Jay-o-Way We need to discuss this. Do we need to disable hotkey editing when hotkeys are enabled? I am about to submit a PR on HotkeysPage, in which we will make a decision on this point. My personal opinion does not need to be disabled, because first of all, the back end supports modifying the hotkey function when it is enabled, and I added the forced save button to make an extra guarantee for this function.
