[Request] Designatable Hotkeys for Plugins

[tubajedimr]

What I am requesting:

A plugin that can be used to DESIGNATE a HOTKEY (example CTRL or ALT+Z).

This HOTKEY would ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE a specified plugin which is DESIGNATED by NAME.

FOR EXAMPLE:
When I press CTRL, I turn ON/OFF "Mr. Autofight".


Possible advanced features:

Being able to create MULTIPLE Hotkeys for various plugins.


______________________________

Additional Requested Feature:

Hotkey (which can be customized) to CEASE ALL ACTIVITY - (A do nothing key that doesn't turn off the bot, but pauses all activity until pressed again)






Why this plugin would be useful to others:

One such way is that it would prevent the need to stop the bot when in combat or in a dungeon/raid, and instead use a quick hotkey to override the bot.
Another may be to quickly turn on and off the bot for bio breaks.
Another may be to turn on and off Mr. Autofight or similar plugin quickly or to turn on or off Professionbuddy.

Honestly, this would be something that would be great for a few different situations:

1) Testing a new plugin - if it goes erratic or just not working acceptably, hit your hotkey to deactivate it. (how many times have you launched yourself at your mouse to shut down HB cause you're toon started looking like it needed new medication?)

2) Someone Wsps you and you happen to be near the computer. Would be great to be able to kill all activity and be able to answer like you normally would. Although I may be able to run in a straight line while typing out a quick response, I personally feel better if I stop my toon to reply when I'm playing manually. This way I can pay more attention to what I'm doing without my toon running into something.

3) Your toon is running a profile when you are nearby and NPCscan goes off... would be nice to be able to pause HB and go 'git' the Rare...

Just my thoughts... would like to see this although it would probably take a bit to make it work... maybe down the road a bit? ;-)

Or when HB does its sporadic nonsensical movements into sh...stuff, kill switch!

you can do it, just make a plugin that toggles other plugins, the problem is doing the "hot key" monitoring and dealing with that, since key monitoring itself is kinda messy.

im profile dev. plugins are over my head.

I was pretty much expecting an "It's more complicated than it sounds" reply... and honestly, probably wouldn't be the first thing that I would try to code since it does indeed sound complex... I'll probably start with profiles (already in progress), then work on a CC or 2... then see where I go from there. ;-)
