Research direction

Start by locating how Windhawk stores settings and toggles mods, then investigate how the application can observe battery charging and discharging state. Define how the listed mods' original enabled states are preserved across state changes. Done means the settings list and automatic toggling work in both directions without changing a mod's intended state when the device returns to its prior battery state.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

I have several mods installed that either passively cause or actively use lots of resources that I can spare when my device is plugged in and charging, but would prefer to be turned off when my device is on battery.

Thus, I'm suggesting adding a list to Windhawk settings that automatically toggles the mods when changing battery state (i.e. if the mod is ON, and is on the list, then it toggles to OFF, and back ON, while if the mod is OFF, and is on the list, then it toggles to ON, and back OFF).
