What is new in Nightfall 3.1.0

* **Improved keyboard shortcut support**. You can now set a keyboard shortcut directly in Nightfall, and it should work more consistently across all apps now. The default is <kbd>^⌥⌘T</kbd>.
 * The old services-based implementation has been removed
* **Nightfall is now signed and notarized**, so you no longer need to bypass Gatekeeper to run Nightfall.
* Added an indicator to the settings panel if Nightfall lacks screen recording permissions
* Replaced “Preferences” with “Settings” to follow modern macOS conventions
