Description

Hi

I would like to avoid to capture my passwords in the logfile. One strategy would be to pause logkeys for a bit. Have you considered adding a `-pause` option? Or do you have any script to recommend to stop, wait a bit and restart (using previously selected device, possibly manually inputted)?

Thanks!

Research direction

Review how logkeys currently starts, stops, and selects a device, then compare that behavior with the requested temporary pause. Clarify whether the goal is a new -pause option or a stop/restart script, including how a manually selected device is preserved; done means passwords are not written during the pause and normal logging resumes afterward.
