  DEBUG BINDINGS
The combination mod + Shift + Space begins a debug binding. Debug bindings are completed by pressing an additional key. For example, pressing M may cycle through the GL renderer debug modes. Most debug effects can be disabled again by repeating the command. Debug bindings are often tied to specific backends. Below are the debug bindings available.

        Subscribe for flight recorder.

        Enable/Disable cursor planes.
    - KEY_V :
        Enable/Disable overlay planes.
    - KEY_Q :
        Start VAAPI recorder.
    - KEY_M :
        Cycle through gl-renderer debug modes: none, wireframe, batches, damage, opaque.
    - KEY_R :
        Enable repaint debugging for Pixman.
