| 2024-12-10 |  | | en | 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 |

| 2024-10-26 |  | | en | Works exactly as intended. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the need for an option to reassign the button to any of your choice. Currently it gets frustrating when I use Shift+tab to go back to a previous clue, only for that to enable the pencil as well |
