handler	ShortcutHandler	Shortcut handler callback - takes the triggered shortcut as argument

Promise<void>

import { register } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-global-shortcut';

await register('CommandOrControl+Shift+C', (event) => {
  if (event.state === "Pressed") {
      console.log('Shortcut triggered');
  }
});

// or register multiple hotkeys at once
