[Geometry Nodes] Custom Keyboard Shortcut Node

A node on which I can define a key or key combination and an operation which has to be executed when pressing this key(s). The operation could be defined in the way like a simulation zone.

Use case: I often work with random values and try out different seeds for various results. But it is not very handy to always enter manually a "+1" to the seed. It would be great if with just one keystroke (e.g. spacebar) one could get a new result. And I think there can be many more use cases, e.g. switching quickly between various index switch values etc.

PS - it would be an equivalent to the mouse position node. It may require a check box, only when ticked it is active.

Why not just press the little arrows?

Then you have to precisely click on them. Having keys is quicker and easier, I can concentrate on looking at the result, and I can customize it. For example, if you want to move around an object, I could define some keys for this or that movement and then mess around in a quick and precise way. Keyboard shortcuts are always helping for the workflow instead of having to do everything with the mouse. And as said, it would be the logic equivalent to the "mouse position" node.
