[Feature request] Switching between 2 modes with hotkey(s) about windows-auto-night-mode HOT 6 CLOSED

Another solution is to define a shortcut to the AutoDarkMode.exe with a command line argument of "/dark" or "/light". Then define a global keyboard shortcut to launch this shortcut.

Here's an example shortcut:

It'd be nice if there was a "/toggle" command line argument so I can define only one shortcut instead of two. Here's the code to add to App.xaml.cs:

                    else if(value == "/toggle")
                    {
                        RegEditHandler regEditHandler = new RegEditHandler();
                        if (regEditHandler.SystemUsesLightTheme())
                            regEditHandler.ThemeToDark();
                        else
                            regEditHandler.ThemeToLight();
                    }

Hello,

I released a new version of Auto-Night Mode. Version 2.0 introduces fast theme switching with the program Jump-List. So you can pin the program to your start screen or to the taskbar, and then right click on it to switch the theme.

This solution is much easier & resource-saving than a global hotkey. I hope you like it!

This seems to be the best solution so far. I've pinned it to my Start menu and it works. But I still wish to have this keyboard shortcut as well, hopefully at some point. There ARE already apps that can help with this but I don't want to install two different apps for achieving one goal.
Thank you ✨.

I also had the nice idea. But the App would need a background task to do so.

Global hotkeys are very high on our priority list.
The next major feature release will not launch before this has been implemented.
