'How to execute ida-decompiler python script from IDAPython inside IDA Pro

I'm trying to execute this python script in IDA PRO using IDAPython.

https://github.com/EiNSTeiN-/ida-decompiler

It says to run this script you simply just do the following

This is an IDA plugin which can decompile one function at a time. To try it in IDA, place your cursor on a function, and execute the plugin. The decompiled function will appear in the output window.

I placed my mouse cursor on the assembly code of a function.
I don't know whats the hotkey to run the script.
I already loaded the script by doing Alt+F9 then pressing Insert key and loading up the decompiler.py

All it said in the Output window was Using IDA backend.
I'm guessing it's loaded now.

There must be a hotkey to use this script when I place the mouse over the assembly code of a function nothing is outputted in the Output window.
Right clicking the assembly code has no new menu options and clicking Edit->Plugins doesn't have any new plugins.

EDIT: Looking here https://github.com/EiNSTeiN-/ida-decompiler/blob/3bd9ea6a1c073e68fef33e3cf092a34ca7fdd763/src/host/ida/ui/main.py

seems the hotkey should be F5 same as Hex-Rays Decompiler (Could they both use the same hotkey?).
It should output the errors either.
Failed to register hotkey!
Hotkey unregistered!
Press F5 to decompile a function.
Failed to delete hotkey!

None of that is outputted in Output Window and F5 just runs Hex-Rays.
