Experimental

You can also use the shortcut holder. Due to some limitation, it's not as smooth as I would like it to be.

1. Press the shortcut key (default: Ctrl+Alt+A) to activate the magnifier
2. Then you can hold and release the hold shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. While the magnifier is hidden using the hold shortcut, you can't click
4. To close this mode, close the magnifier with the normal shortcut (default: Ctrl+Alt+A)

Configuration

You can customize the shortcut key by editing the src/config.ts file.
