Requested Feature
Currently when requesting GetHotkeyList, we only get the internal reference names for the hotkeys, example output may look like this:
To be able to show these to users and enable them to trigger them as needed, they need to be in "human readable" form. I could start to map them internally but for now it is not clear what changes / settings in OBS might lead to the addition or removal of entries of hotkeys and how the internal name might look like. OBS itself is serving them as human readable in the UI:
For consistency and minimizing errors, returning the readable names OBS itself is using for each hotkey would be highly beneficial to make use of this feature.
Requested Feature Usage Scenario
Listing all available hotkeys as exposed by the API to users and enable them to understand which hotkey is which and trigger them correctly (user knows which hotkey returned by the API is which in OBS). Currently the internal name is not suitable for users and would lead to confusion about what they might actually do. Mapping them on my own would also only add another layer which might be inconsistent.
