maybe the behaviour on clicking X should be returning it to the previously set hotkey, because you always need a hotkey to trigger flow, unless we allow no hotkey configuration.

true. But I think there will be some situations where it needs to be removed. (powertoy : impossible / fluent and etc : possible) Of course, the easy way is just block the way to remove it.

If there is no problem removing the shortcut (I’ll test it), I will work on some UIs. (confirm popup, warning UI, etc.) also I think there will be necessary situations when playing games, so it would be good to have a temporary deactivation function through the tray menu. I’ll think about it because the priority is low.

I’ll check. You were trying to make a situation where there was no shortcut key at all, right?

I’m planning If the focus is lost without any content, I considering opening a confirmation window to “remove the shortcut key at all?”. or whole redesign hotkey like powertoy.
