Hey there, just wanted to report an issue with the AutoHotkey script in v2.3.

Basically, most of the hotkeys are enabled in random applications even though they shouldn’t be triggering except in Lightroom. For example, pressing Ctrl-Alt-N in Firefox opens a new tab on my machine.

I believe applying the linked patch would fix this issue: [NLP AutoHotkey regexp patch · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/bcc32/538cef71147ae55ad64f00e7200ba5c3), as it seems to work on my machine.

@nate This bug is still happening in v2.4 but it is now no longer possible to patch myself, because the hotkey is distributed as an executable rather than an AHK script. Would you mind taking a look at this?

A particular problem for me is that Ctrl+Shift+X conflicts with the shortcut to open 1Password’s web extension in Firefox, and Alt-X conflicts with the M-x key in Emacs.

Thank you so much @bcc32 and my apologies for missing this before… let me see if I can replicate and patch in the download… in the meantime, you can also [download the AHK script here](https://negativelabpro.s3.amazonaws.com/NegativeLabHotkey.ahk).
