Quick accent - global enable/disable hotkey

[tonank]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Some applications conflict with quick accent. Especially games and their controls. It would be nice to have a global enable/disable hotkey like ctrl+win+a or something similar. I don't like to enable disable through the settings menu.

Scenario when this would be used?

When I play a game and then switch over to write something that needs accents.

@tonank thank you for your feedback.
Would it be helpful to you to exclude the game using QuickAccents settings?

I saw "disable in game mode". It seems to work fine!

This feature would still be useful to me as originally described. Some of my work contexts necessitate non-qwerty characters and others don't. Sadly these contexts don't align with individual programs. I'm switching between multiple different conversations/tickets during the day. When I don't need extended characters, my fat fingers tend to accidentally insert them not too infrequently (I'm aware the timeout can be set, but setting it any longer is pretty annoying).

If I could quickly globally enable/disable the quick accent feature it would significantly speed up my ability to move between documents, conversations, and tickets rather than needing to open powertoys settings and toggle it as I often do now.
