Research direction

This feature request (#745) asks for customizable shortcuts, referencing issue #643 for the motivation. The issue has 12 comments but no PR, and it is stale since 2022. To start, examine the existing shortcut setup in the codebase, likely in Electron's main process or a keybinding configuration file. Look at the comments for any discussed design or required changes. The goal is to understand the current shortcut handling and plan a settings UI to allow users to override default shortcuts.
