Question / Help Is it possible to start OBS and make it automatically record the current active window?

What I want to do is to start OBS with CTRL + something and have it automatically start recording the active Window. So if I were playing a game, and if I were to press that combination, OBS would automatically start, then start recording it. I know how to map commands to keyboard combinations so that's not an issue. Is there any command line options that let you do this?

Even if OBS can't automatically detect the currently active window, I could still put it in a script and use xdotool to find out information about the currently active window which I could then pass onto OBS.
