Keybinds FFS

Hello,

I have been waiting patiently for years, but I'm sick of it. WTF Discord? Why would you have all these keybinds and not let the users change them? This is user interface design 101. If you have a keybind created you have a variable in the code for it, why not allow the user change it? It has no effect whatsoever on functionality.

But denying us the ability to change to whatever we want has a huge effect on productivity. Case in point. Default keybind to "Start call in private message or group" is Ctrl+`. Problem is, there's no way to change it. So the users can be gaming along, try to use their ingame Ctrl+` to do whatever - or just accidentally push it - and up pops an overlay blocking their screen.

In short, users cannot define USEFUL keybinds for their setups all because some lazy Discord coder couldn't be bothered to add a few options for the users to redifine a few variables. Or worse, there was a conscious decision to deny the users the option. FFS. Don't tell the user the best way to use your app. Let them choose what is most efficient for them. Design 101. Read a damn UI book already.

Seriously, this is not rocket science. And it's not even a feature issue. On several platforms this literally overrides standard editing commands. This is a bug. An easily addressable bug. A trivial, unforced, bug. I could patch it myself in a few hours (I've never seen the code base or it would be an hour tops).
