[Feature Request] Ignore keyboard shortcuts in some software #883

I love the Cursor Movement feature in Rectangle Pro — it's a fantastic way to quickly position windows. However, I've run into a persistent issue: the shortcuts are globally active and frequently conflict with other applications.

For example, in PDF Expert, many of its built-in shortcuts overlap with the Cursor Movement shortcuts, which often causes accidental window repositioning while I'm simply trying to work in PDF Expert.

While I know I can remap the Cursor Movement shortcuts to something else, it's difficult to find a combination that won't eventually conflict with some other app.

My suggestion: Could you add a per-app exclusion list specifically for Cursor Movement? This would allow users to specify apps where Cursor Movement shortcuts should be ignored/disabled, similar to how some other tools handle app-specific rules.
This would give users much finer control without having to globally disable or remap the feature. I think many power users who work with multiple professional apps would benefit from this.

some software like AltTab, MOS
