Hi, thanks for this great App!

I'm capturing Tmux sessions, where all shortcuts start with a configurable prefix. By default it is ⌃B but Tmux users often change it to something easier to type. The usual way to describe tmux shortcuts is just write "prefix" then add the remainder of the shortcut, like prefix + b + r.

Is that something you would consider adding? I think it means

an option to replace a well-known shortcut with its name: ⌃A with prefix
an option to write sequences with a separator like +

Thanks!

PS: I wish I could help, but I don't know ObjC

It sounds like you would like to be able to label or decorate certain key combinations in a configurable way? This could be an interesting enhancement for some, though likely not a short term priority for me since development time is limited.

Certain editors and input modes seem like they would benefit from more specialized support (emacs comes to mind as well). Open to suggestions but these sound potentially like new visualizers, and contributions would definitely be welcome.

Both emacs and tmux documentation use a similar C-x style of notating command keystrokes. Sounds like supporting that would be a good first step toward improved emacs and tmux visualization support.

Yes, it sounds right.

PS: I'm sorry I can't contribute, but I don't have the bandwidth to learn ObjC.
