Subject: [PATCH] Check for certain hotkeys in game list

There are certain hotkeys that we absolutely want to be able to use
without being in-game. Presently, no hotkeys are recognized unless we
are in-game.

I've identified and moved the following hotkeys to be checked before the
HotkeyScheduler checks to see if the Core is running:

- Open
- Exit
- Start Recording
- Refresh Game List

Note that Play Recording should also be implemented here, however it
looks like there is no signal for a PlayRecording() function, so this
will have to be handled in a later PR once that signal is created and
implemented.
