Research direction

Start by studying the linked Planner for elementaryOS implementation and compare it with Reminduck's existing desktop behavior. Define how a shortcut should open a small quick-add window and how that window should create tasks; the feature is done when both actions work reliably.

Description

enhancement

Planner for elementaryOS recently added a feature where you can, with a shortcut, spawn a small window that quickly adds tasks. It would be awesome if Reminduck had a similar feature!
