The motivation of this is to create a soundboard with global hotkey support on Wayland, because Soundux wouldn't add it :<
That's why this soundboard is structurally very similar to Soundux.

During my development, I have found 2 different crates that handles global key input. They are inputbot and mki. I looked at some issues in inputbot and learnt that they are using libinput as the backend. I didn't read about mki though.

This soundboard is using mki, and global hotkey is working in Wayland (at least for Plasma).
