The Issue

Suggestion from a reddit user:

More keyboard shortcuts should be included in the app. Examples include being able to scroll via arrow/page up/down buttons, home button to go to Discover page, Ctrl + X shortcuts to go to subscriptions, downloads, publishes, Publish, wallet, etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing app codebase for any keyboard shortcut handling (e.g., in components or navigation) and check if there is a common pattern. Then implement global keyboard shortcuts (e.g., arrow keys for scrolling, Ctrl+N for discovery, Ctrl+S for subscriptions, etc.) using a library like mousetrap or Electron's accelerators.
