Feature Request: Disable logging for hotkey enable and disable about hammerspoon HOT 3 OPEN

found a solution with the undocumented hs.hotkey.getLogLevel and hs.hotkey.setLogLevel (#3492)

    local previousLogLevel = hs.hotkey.getLogLevel()
    hs.hotkey.setLogLevel(0)
    hotkeyhandler:disable()
    hs.hotkey.setLogLevel(previousLogLevel)

I created a helper so that i can use it:

hotkeySilence(function()  hotkeyHandler:disable() end)

or just a:

hotkeyDisableSilent(hotkeyHandler)

see my commit where I implemented it:
muescha/dot_hammerspoon@6e8f2d3

from hammerspoon.

since I found a workaround we should close the feature request?

or should there be methods with an boolean option? like :disable(silent) and :enable(silent)

For what it's worth, entering or exiting an hs.hotkey.modal doesn't print anything unless one of the hotkeys it's enabling/disabling shadows one that was already enabled before you entered the modal (or you setLogLevel to 4 (debug) or higher). That fact isn't exactly documented, but the modal API itself is.

There actually is an isModal parameter to both :enable() and :disable() which is used to implement that, but it's even more private than getLogLevel/setLogLevel (and it's in a different position in each method's signature), so it's probably not a good idea to use that directly:
