Add "User Script Hotkeys" in plugin settings, just like "Template hotkeys.

I have grown REALLY fond of the scripting functionality of templater, and use that to automate quite a lot of mundane tasks.

For example, I keep a log of medicine taken in the frontmatter, but as an array. This gets cumbersome to edit, but a script solves that easily, and Templater is SUPER GREAT FOR THIS. You rock!

But right now in order to actually trigger the script, I need to (as far as I can tell) create a dummy templater note, that I can then trigger using the "Template Hotkeys" configuration.

So the script looks like this

async function addMedicine(tp) {
  const { type, dose, time } = await // .. tp.system.promt calls to get these
  app.fileManager.processFrontMatter(tp.config.target_file, metadata => {
    const log = metadata['medicine-log'] || [];
    metadata['medicine-log'] = [...log, { type, dose, time }];
  })
}
module.exports = addMedicine;

Not I can create templates/add medicine.md

<%*
tp.user.addMedicine(tp)
-%>

And now I can add a hotkey to the templates/add medicine.md file.

This is SUPER COOL, and it solves my problems.

BUT if I didn't need to create this skeleton template to wrap the script, it would be even more awesome.

I tried searching for other Obsidian plugins that allowed me to run adhoc scripts, but I didn't find one. Don't know if I didn't look well enough. But many of the scripts are for creating contents, so having the affinity with templater is helpful for some tasks.
