Hotkeys are not working

[ptrinh]

Example:

Command + [
Command + ]
Command + 1
Command + 2
...

any pointers here as to how these could be implemented? I've written Electron apps before but have no experience with the Discord codebase

@beaugunderson The Discord codebase is an obfuscated release of their React application, making it extremely challenging to hook to something inside the application's logic
Realistically, we cannot hook to their keyboard shortcuts settings to trick it into letting us configure it; because even if we manage to do it, as soon as they release an update of their codebase our feature will break horribly

What we can do is a list of hotkeys we want to support, and simulate user events to match their intended behaviors.
For example, Cmd + 1 should go to the first server of the sidebar, meaning we can look for this server's DOM element and trigger its onClick event.

Of course it will not be possible to get all hotkeys to work, but supporting a subset is better than nothing!
