Hi, there.

Thank you a lot for creating and maintaining this incredible utility, it is a real gem!

I have been using it for a while. It took a bit of time to get used to how it works properly, but once you get things going it is really incredible, you can make your keyboard do almost anything on Linux. And it is also light on resources, a big plus!

Recently I was messing with directives and I noticed that the Active indicator in the tray icon menu is not updated when @toggle-active key combo is pressed. Watching the system log, I see the exact same information when either the key combo is used or the tray icon menu option, for instance:

keymapper.desktop[2677412]: Sending active contexts (1)
keymapper.desktop[2677412]: Active contexts updated
keymapper.desktop[2677412]: Sending active contexts (10)

But when Active is "ticked" in the tray icon menu and I used the key combo for @toggle-active, Active does not change, it is still ticked, and vice-versa. As there is no notification for the toggle, it would be really useful if the menu item updated when the key combo is used.

Or, even better, change the icon to a dimmed/dark version to denote is was toggled off, so there is no need to click on the icon to check the Active status. 🌟

Please feel free to ask for more info or tests if needed.

Thanks again. Regards.
