Describe the solution you'd like
To be able to trigger a sync through a global hotkey - ie when the OGCS application does not have focus.

Describe alternatives you've considered
In theory, as long as the Sync button is left with focus, AutoHotKey could be configured to switch focus to OGCS and then press spacebar.

Additional context
Would be helpful to not have to rely on Push sync or a schedule, but easily trigger a sync on demand.

The following GitHub project may prove useful: https://github.com/8/GlobalHotKeys

As requested on Twitter.

I think that would be an even greater amount of work; essentially another COM-add in for the toolbar which would have to invoke the main application anyway. Microsoft are killing off COM add-ins and I would say it's as many clicks, if not more, to navigate the Outlook toolbar rather than go to the system tray to invoke a sync...
