[Improvement request] Hide when pressing space bar and backspace

[ricprd]

As it is common when editing text files, it would be great if this utility could also hide the cursor when pressing the space bar and backspace. Maybe apply this to the Del key as well.

Thanks for this great utility!

On line 19 and 20 you see the following:

19: ; Register the keys you want to listen on
20: keys = ``1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]\asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./

I suspect you can add {Space} and {Backspace} to the keys list as so:

19: ; Register the keys you want to listen on
20: keys = ``1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]\asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./{Space}{Backspace}

This is per AHK documentation in 'keystrokes, sending' index item.
See https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm
Let me know if it works out.

Sadly that does not work, as the keys variable is parsed so adding {space} would simply make it turn into {, s, p, a, c, e, } for the purpose of detection. I'm new to AutoHotkey so I can't figure out how to tweak it to listen to keys instead of letters.

I knows it's been almost a year, but I just stumbled upon it myself.
I need to add space, delete and backspace as well. I have a fork created supporting those features:

Not sure if it's worth doing PR as I see there is another one still pending.
