Description

An idea: do like Dropbox on macOS and hijack the native shortcuts. It will be a bit hard to do but I believe it's doable. If there is no npm package for this, I'll work on one which will need to be a native module in C++... Well... But we can do it and I think it's a great idea. Then, see if it's possible on Windows.

What do you think?
