System-wide Hotkeys
System-wide shortcuts (often referred to as hotkeys) function even if Video Sync is not the frontmost application.
The Enable system-wide shortcuts preference can be found in Preferences>MISC.
As these shortcuts are not customisable, it is possible that they interfere with existing shortcuts in other apps. Unticking this checkbox will disable them completely.
A restart of Video Sync is required for the changes to take effect.
