Description

I have 3 accounts set up in N1. Currently, in the account switcher, to switch to my first account I use ⌘2, to switch to my second account I use ⌘3, my third account ⌘4, etc.

This is somewhat unintuitive and causes a bit of unneeded cognitive load every time I want to switch accounts.

I propose instead using ⌘0 (instead of ⌘1) for "All accounts", and then using ⌘n to switch to the _n_ᵀᴴ account.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the account switcher shortcut mapping in the Electron app to use ⌘0 for 'All accounts' and ⌘n for the nth account.
