Python3-based CLI hotkey manager for Openbox

It's called Hotbox:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hotbox-git/
https://github.com/bajaco/hotbox

Basically, I like using Openbox without a full desktop, and just use keybinds for everything. I used to use obkey but upon my most recent install it seemed to have some dated requirements I didn't want to deal with.

This depends on only python(3), and although it's CLI based instead of Qt like I think obconf is, it's pretty fast to use.
I've been coding to some degree for years but this is the first thing I've tried to release for others to use. I really hope it's useful to someone. I'm also very interested in feedback on both features and code; I'm trying to transition into a career in development.

Thanks for your time. I know it's rough around the edges (especially regarding the PKGBUILD which was very confusing to me) but I hope some arch newcomer finds it helpful.
