API key input cuts off full API key

See original GitHub issue

Recently, WakaTime API keys have been prefixed with waka_. However, the Visual Studio plugin does not appear to account for this new prefix, as the last 5 characters of the full API key are cut when pasting directly from the WakaTime website. This results in an invalid API key, but can be worked around by copying the API key without the waka_ prefix.

I am using WakaTime 13.0.0 with Visual Studio 2022.
