Allow keyboard shortcuts to be changed

sYne

I have just received a new update where the keystroke CTRL + Shift + L begins screen sharing. While this might be great for some users, it is harmful to others, and there is no way to disable this function or change the shortcut.

For me, I use a password manager and that same keystroke is used to autofill my passwords, so whenever I want to autofill my passwords, Discord begins screen sharing, and there is no way to turn this off. Not only is this annoying, but it is also very dangerous.

I reached out to the support team and they said that shortcuts can't be disabled and that I should make a post here if I want that function to be implemented. Why should I have to make a post here for a function that would objectively make a better experience for all users? Developers should be more mindful of the functions that they are adding.

    Having a default and not disableable global hotkey to start sharing your screen is ridiculous. They should at least be limited to being focused on Discord, if people want a global hotkey they will make one. Alternatively, all hotkeys should be editable.
    It is definitely dangerous, an uninformed user might be told to press the hotkey whilst doing something sensitive such as online banking or typing a password, and get their private information exposed. Surely Discord should have learned by now that basically everything they do is susceptible to abuse?
    Hopefully this can be resolved quickly!

    Ctrl + Shift + L is also Bitwarden's autofill function.
    I work on internal company tooling while being in calls with clients and friends. Everytime I need to fill in passwords I just press that key combo which *usually* autofills the login info, but now it also immediately shares my screen to the people in the call which can then see our company stuff.

    Do you people not *think* about what you're adding?

    Please let us disable this crap.

    I have just found this too, I alrady had a keybind set to start streaming, so thought it was very strange and concerning that discord decided to start streaming my screen while I was attempting to login to something and display sensitive information. This shortcut does NOT appear within the client to disable.

    This needs disabling IMMEDIATELY before people accidentally start screensharing without realising and potentially sharing private information.

    Just got hit with this too!!!!  Trying to use my password manager and BOOM I go live…  This need to be turned off ASAP.  This is unacceptable, forcing key binds that cannot be edited is just wrong.

    I work in google docs and this hotkey lets me align text when i need it. Now everytime i click on it, my working docs become immediately screenshared and i can not change or disable it. Hotkey for screenshare is needed but let us choose what keybinding we want to use.
