Handy tool, but can you make the hotkey configurable or set it to something else? Shift+Tab goes to the previous clue, which toggles the pencil too now... Or even ignore the pencil shortcut when shift onkeyup if tab has been pressed since onkeydown EDIT: created a Pull Request on GitHub to add alternatives (shift left, shift right, alt left, alt right, ctrl left, ctrl right) as an option

please give option for rebinding the hotkey to something else
