Known Issues

• I have not found a way to detect when the focus of the user has shifted from the dashboard to a different view (e.g., side bars, terminal, etc.). According to this github issue, this does not seem like it will be solved. This means that if you have the dashboard open and try to use a side bar or other view, the hotkeys will still be active. The only way to deactivate the hotkeys is to close the dashboard.
