[UX] Allow to switch activities while another activity is currently running

Switching activities using the shortcuts is only possible, when no activity is currently running. I know this is intended, hover from UX perspectives I think it would be much more comfortable to allow switching activities directly without the need to stop the previous activity.

The reasons for that is:

  1. If the user accidently click on an activity, he can simply switch back to the previous activity. If he do that within a few seconds, hamster will recognize this and ignore the short interrupt.
  2. If the user accidently click on an activity without to notice, He can still correct the activities in hamster.
  3. Hitting stop and than select the activity did not feel very smooth IMHO

Maybe we can find more users that have an opinion on that?
