 * Register a global `hotkey` that executes `listener` when the key combination
 * in `hotkey` is pressed. If more then one `listener` is registered on the same
 * key combination only last one will be executed.
 *
 * @param {string} hotkey
 *    Key combination in the format of 'modifier key'.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *     "accel s"
 *     "meta shift i"
 *     "control alt d"
 *
 * Modifier keynames:
 *
 *  - **shift**: The Shift key.
 *  - **alt**: The Alt key. On the Macintosh, this is the Option key. On
 *    Macintosh this can only be used in conjunction with another modifier,
 *    since `Alt+Letter` combinations are reserved for entering special
 *    characters in text.
 *  - **meta**: The Meta key. On the Macintosh, this is the Command key.
 *  - **control**: The Control key.
 *  - **accel**: The key used for keyboard shortcuts on the user's platform,
 *    which is Control on Windows and Linux, and Command on Mac. Usually, this
 *    would be the value you would use.
 *
 * @param {function} listener
 *    Function to execute when the `hotkey` is executed.
