Description

Adds two global Windows hotkeys that work regardless of which app has focus: Alt+A opens a deck/note-type picker and Anki's Add Cards dialog pre-filled from your clipboard (press again to close); Alt+K opens/closes Anki's Browse window. Requires AnkiConnect and Windows — it uses the Win32 RegisterHotKey API, so the hotkeys won't register on macOS/Linux.
