Global next/previous track shortcuts
One of my extra mouse buttons is mapped to play/pause. Whether or not I have Nuclear in focus, that mouse button can be used to play/pause in Nuclear, unless I have other sources playing in other programs.
However, two of the other extra mouse buttons are mapped to 'next track' and 'previous track', but I can only use these on Nuclear when the application is in focus.
It would be helpful if I could go to the next/previous track without having Nuclear in focus.
OS: Windows 11

If I understood correctly, this doesn't seem to be a problem on Windows or Linux, but on macOS users would have to authorize the application by allowing it to use special permissions? If so, is that a security concern that would stop you from adding this feature?
There are no security concerns here. If anyone wants to contribute this feature I'll be glad to merge it.
