Description

For the past 5 years I've been using Livesplit for my Trackmania speedruns. Global Hotkeys were bothering me when I wasn't playing as I like easy-to-remember hotkeys on my numpad.

I therefore installed the FocusedHotkeys component to enable these hotkeys only ingame and I've never add a hotkey activation issue since. Problem is I made layout files and tutorials on some of the games I moderate on speedrun.com, and despite talking about the FocusedHotkeys component in my tutorials, I regularly receive messages from new players who can't open my layouts.

I guess I'm not the only one using FocusedHotkeys out here and I think it is such a fundamental component that it should already be there when you install Livesplit from its website.
