Electron Application with Overlay Window

This is an Electron application that creates two separate windows: a main application window and an overlay window. The main window is positioned on the left half of the screen, and the overlay window is positioned at the top right, with dimensions of 200x200 pixels.

Features

• Main Window: A standard Electron browser window that can be used for your primary application interface.
• Overlay Window: A small, transparent, frameless window that is always on top. It can be moved independently and is positioned at the top right of the screen. Overlay can be included in screenshot by selecting screen 1
• Keyboard Events: Listens for key events using the uiohook-napi library, triggering actions like screenshots or creating a match when specific keys are held down.
