commands is invoked.

The output video will be created in the same directory as original one with the
following filename format: `YYYY-MM-DD_hh_mm_ss.mkv`.
## Keymaps

* `Ctrl+t`: start/end video clip timestamp, which are saved in temporary file
and passed to ffmpeg;
* `Ctrl+Shift+t`: clear accidental start timestamp;
* `Ctrl+p`: start trimming/merging clips (valid input only if paired start/end
timestamps have been saved).
