Implement keyboard-triggered shutdown
This is a draft PR because I wasn't sure how you'd want to make this configurable, so the hotkey is currently hard-coded and I'll want to revise that, but it currently assigns Ctrl+Win+Alt+ScrollLock (i.e. Control+Command+Option+F14) to shut down the USB4VC.
I chose that key combo for three reasons:
-
Scroll Lock is quite possible the most unused key on the entire keyboard, with Mac OS just using F14 as something a user can assign their own meaning to and X11-based desktops not even mapping it to the modifier flag anymore, let alone in combination with modifiers being held down.
(On modern Windows, I believe its only significant use is as something KVM switches can listen for a double-tap on, and, in my experience, USB-based ones that offer that feature (i.e. not the $20 USB/VGA ones off eBay you're likely to buy for your retro stuff) do it by listening for requests to change the Scroll Lock LED, not presses on the key itself.)
-
It uses three modifier keys, which makes it even more unlikely to collide with anything.
-
It's easy to remember because it's almost identical to the Mac OS "fast shutdown" key combo (Control+Command+Option+Power or Control+Command+Option+Eject) and, for PC users, it's easy to remember because it's just "Use three fingers on your left hand to press the three modifier keys that are in a row, then tap Scroll Lock".
However, if anyone has a problem with it that I'm missing, I have no problem with a different default.
