Reginald isn't shown upon Alt+Space

Thanks first for this nice program.
I encounter a problem after starting Reginald
Steps: Press Alt+Space
Expected: The Reginald application launcher is shown.
Actual: nothing happens.
I tried to find the place in the code where the shortcut is registered in order to reassign it to a different value so that I can rule out conflicts on my system. However, I couldn't find the code line where it's done (your code is super advanced 💯).
On the other hand, when I assign the Alt+Space to Listary, it works, so there's no general hidden conflict on this computer. Of course, when running Reginald, I have a different shortcut assigned to Listary. And it doesn't work when Listary is shut down. That said, it really should work. Listary is a somewhat similar program.
Unfortunately, there is no tray icon to 1. Indicate the program is running and 2. To invoke the settings window so that I can reassign the shortcut (to set it to a definitively working or more convenient one).
First off, thank you so much for opening this issue. I found a fix for it and I'll be releasing an updated version very soon.

That's not good because Reginald does have a tray icon. At first I thought this was due to a JSON parsing error (which would've been a bit of a headache to figure out what the issue is), but instead, the reason why Alt + Space wasn't working and why the tray icon wasn't appearing is because the application's %APPDATA% directory was being used for initializing a FileSystemWatcher object before actually being created.
This only affected new users which is just terrible on my part. I could have sworn I tested running the application with the %APPDATA% directory being deleted but I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I've released v1.0.1 which should fix the issue. Please try it out when you can and let me know if the application still continues to bug out.
Thank you for the updated version. It works now.
