many people have arrow keys bound to specific actions so this won't fly, sorry

Liquid Glass, animations, custom colors, bash script, custom args for bash and commands, custom args for urls, multi select and edit to leader key settings, icons show for the 'open with' app.

That's certainly the case, but on the other hand, I think @BretonBrander 's idea and execution are excellent. Maybe make it optional? Thanks for providing the DMG, Breton! When will there finally be another official @mikker release for non-Apple developers like myself?

Super cool that you're forking 💪
If y'all get tired of waiting for me on here, you should rename the fork to Leader Coup 😂

Thanks! No coup intended :)

I don’t want to muddy up your code base but I did want a few new features :). I’m working on features I want to use for myself, but I’ll keep my fork going in case you or someone else wants to use any of the code or features.

Currently I’m excited to be adding drag and drop so it’s easy to add shortcuts into Leader Key :).
