First, I want to congratulate everyone involved in the development and maintenance of this plugin, because it is an amazing tool. With that said, let's describe the situation. I only have 1 monitor to use OBS, so while I'm recording the tutorial videos, I won't be able to see when the zoom is activated on the screen or not, and during the explanations, I might end up forgetting to turn off zoom when your application is not needed. Before thinking about this solution, I tried to find an option in the apps to control OBS from the cell phone (Macro Deck, Deckboard, etc) that would allow me to create the button that would activate the shortcut key defined in the programs, but with the button turning on and off as with the volume mute/unmute button. But as it seems to me, this option is not offered for hotkeys.
Because of this, I thought of separating a shortcut key for Zoom In and another for Zoom Out, so that, even if I have forgotten if Zoom is activated or not, when I want to do something different, I will just use the key shortcut corresponding to the intended action.
I have a beginner's knowledge of Python, but I would like to know which variables are responsible for storing Zoom commands to try to experiment with this change in the script.
I thank you for your attention. Greetings from Brazil!!!

I think the challange is that the hotkey is a toggle, on and off. and after afew clicks you (and I) no longer know if your last click was on or off.

OK, id be willing to share in dev costs for that.... a known OFF and known ON setting... Sorry, Im not a developer. I just use this stuff (poorly) in my world.

Just getting back to working on the plugin, but I think that this is a reasonable enhancement. Separating out into two individual hotkeys would inspire more confidence as to the state of the tracking.

It's probably worth separating the hotkeys for the pairs zoom in/out and tracking on/off. 4 Hotkeys total, but old behavior should be maintained by making the pair have the same hotkey.

Not sure when I will get around to it, but it's definitely on the list.

This would be amazing. If anyone has any current workaround ideas to achieve this, it would be truly appreciated. Thanks.
