The ability to map my own keyboard shortcuts / Custom shortcut mappings

I find the default keyboard shortcuts to be non-conventional and inconvenient. For example, CMD-SHFT-ARROW_LEFT is used on Capacites for toggling the left panel of the UI, but this is actually a very common shortcut that I use for highlighting a row of text from right to left.

Related to this is that the typical text navigation bindings on MacOS don't work as expected in Capacities. For example, you can use Ctrl-F, B, P, & N to navigate text while editing a block, but you cannot navigate with these once you are out of that mode (and the block or blocks are just selected). Similarly, when a dialog appears, being able to browse and select candidates using those key bindings in the ordinary way would make things so much more fluid :)

Minor thing, but great for quality of life!

This is critical. Ctrl Alt shortcuts can't be used on windows, if Alt Gr is required for some accented characters, because Ctrl + Alt acts as Alt Gr.

I really want to use copy link to block, but I hate to use my mouse every time.

Especially given that formulas are currently bound to macos shortcut cmd-m, meaning it's overridden by the system shortcut out of the box. You have to disable the system shortcut everywhere just to enable shortcut-based formulas in one app.

Please add this must have feature!! there are many shortcuts that I need to adapt to my workflow from other apps and browsers so being able to change keyboard shortcuts is not an option really :)

This would be helpful, as when I switch the language from English I can't use any shortcut anymore unless I switch back, which is annoying.

I was a bit puzzled with the "Create Task" being "Shift + Cmd + T", which conflicts with the "Restore last closed tab" in pretty much all major browsers and is effectively unusable there unless you change it in your browser.

On the other I see of course that this seems the only logical choice and coming up with another one might be hard.

So yes I would be happy if that can be solved on the users side with configuring shortcuts in general.

Also Cmd+M (for minimizing the screen) and the LateX-shortcut overlaps.

would absolutely love this!

Even just being able to change what an existing shortcut does would be good as a first step. E.g instead of "Create object" I would love a shortcut to create a new atomic note.
