Describe the solution you'd like?

When I open Settings > Keyboard shortcuts, I want to be able to search for a shortcut by the shortcut itself.

In other words, if the shortcut for A.I. Command Search is ^ then I should be able to click into the Search box, then type the shortcut ^, and the A.I. Command Search should come up as the search result (because it matches the keys I typed (control + backtick).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am frustrated when I want to create a new shortcut because I don't know what the new shortcut will override, if anything. I should be able to see whether a specific shortcut exists. The easy way to allow that is to allow searching by name or by shortcut.

@twocs I suggest un-code-blocking your text above. It's hard to read in a code block because it's monospace and it overflows as an extremely long line that needs horizontal scrolling. If you can make it just regular text instead of code block, that will be good. Thanks. Anyway I will copy it below:

(Tip: You can escape the backtick with a backslash, so it doesn't make a rogue code block: ^\`.)

I want this feature too. I like how VS Code implements it:

Put the search bar into a "shortcut recording mode" by clicking the button:

Type the keyboard shortcut, which filters the list by all matches. (Click the button again to return to normal "text search mode".)

Thanks, @ADTC. I see that it would be hard to read so I updated my comment to remove the text blocks.

It's a bit of an old issue, so I checked the keyboard shortcuts and found it's still not possible to press the keys to identify the current keybinding.

Same thing for the Keyboard Shortcuts list page.

Currently, if I accidentally press a key combo and want to know the keybinding, I need to scan through the entire list of shortcuts. It's definitely not as long as my VS Code keybinding config, but it's still something that deters me from adding custom keybindings.
