Making Shrotcuts/Hotkeys For Individual Fucntions

[holdengand]

I wanted to request that a way to do this be added one day, as it can be a minor annoyance to stop typing and use the mouse to use this tool sometimes.

However, for anyone that wants to be able to do this NOW, I realized today this can be done, even if it wasn't a designed feature, at least for Windows installations. The Tab key does change which field is selected once the app is opened; this includes the individual buttons, which can then be selected by pressing space. I assume this is part of Windows accessibility functions. So if you have a keyboard with programmable buttons or use something like AutoHotkey, you can create shortcuts for individual functions (or even have it paste full commands into the chat section automatically if you don't want specialized buttons cluttering the list).

So, for example, this is how I set it up to use the premade 'proofread' button with a single hotkey:
Press Ctrl + A (obviously to select all text in the field)
Press Ctrl + Space (open writing tools)
Wait 0.45 seconds
Press Tab (move from chat bar to send button)
Press Tab (move from send button to first writing tools command 'proofread')
Press Space (selects highlighted function)

Anyway, I understand theJayTea is currently focused on the core functionality of the app over niceties like this for now. And that's cool, but built-in hotkeys I think would be nice, but doing it like this works well enough for me for now, and I thought I would mention this is possible if anyone else hadn't figured it out and was wishing for a faster way to use this tool.
