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
