ℹ️ Major Update v1.3.0: Enhancing Functionality and UX 🚀

🔍 Overview:
This update focuses on improving functionality and user experience, introducing the all-new `HotKeyProfiles` feature for efficient management of hotkeys and windows.

🔄 Changes:
1️⃣ Created a new `MainForm` class to serve as the application's main form, replacing the now-removed `TrayIcon.cs` file.

2️⃣ Implemented customizable `HotKeyProfiles`:
   - Users can now assign custom actions, such as opening a specific path, to hotkeys like Win + E or any of your choice.
   - Users can now duplicate the current tab when pressing for example CTRL + D.
   - closes #5.

3️⃣ The `HotKeyProfileControl` UserControl:
   - Handles the visual representation and management of hotkey profiles.
   - Includes methods for initializing controls, updating states, paths, scopes, etc.

4️⃣ Added new interfaces, classes, and enums:
   - `IHook`, `ClipboardManager`, `HookManager`, `InteractionManager`, `RegistryManager`, `SettingsManager`, `HotKeyAction`, `HotKeyProfile`, `HotkeyScope`, `InteractionMethod`, and `WindowHeaderElements`.

5️⃣ Utilized third-party libraries for improved aesthetics and functionality:
   - [MaterialSkin.2](https://github.com/leocb/MaterialSkin) for a modern and visually appealing form design.
   - [H.Hooks](https://github.com/HavenDV/H.Hooks) for keyboard key hooking, enabling efficient detection of hotkeys.

🌐 Impact:
These changes contribute to a more streamlined and customizable user experience, providing greater control over hotkey assignments and window interactions.

👏 Thanks you!
