Pretty much, yeah. Currently Pext doesn't support letting modules react on-the-fly (I ran into some performance issues and race conditions), but it definitely should be possible. Global hotkey support, you're completely right. It's always been in the back of my mind, but I never got to it (because I didn't figure out a solution for macOS) and forgot to make a ticket, made one now: https://github.com/Pext/Pext/issues/124. Completion is already implemented, but is not always perfect behaviour-wise. Patches and bug reports welcome, of course :)
