[Feature]: Hotkey for "Cancel Operation"

[khalo-sa]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, I can only cancel an already started recording by clicking on "x", which is only present on some of the supported overlays, or, via the menu bar icon. If there was a hotkey for this, I could control Pindrop with the Keyboard only.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add "Cancel Operation" to Settings->Hotkeys.

Yes I agree with this - the escape button, for example, is what Pipit (another similar app) uses to cancel a recording, and it works well.

Hey @wyaqoob , after inspecting the source code I found out that in fact the escape key already cancels the running recording 😆
I guess if this was documented in the Readme it would already help since this will probably suffice for 90% of users.

Hi, thanks for the response - however using the Esc key doesn’t work for me. I'm on 1.180.

Try pressing escape multiple times. For me it doesn't work if I press it once either.
