[feature]: More typical shortcut guide shortcut (shift+/)

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

The current shortcut for the shortcut guide is H which works. But I've noticed it's somewhat of a custom for web-apps to have the shortcut guide activated by shift+/. Which I think of as more of a shift+? as in "What are the shortcuts?" Examples of popular web apps that do this are...

  • Youtube.com
  • Github.com
  • Reddit.com
  • Jira

and probably a lot more I couldn't think of.

Why should this be worked on?

By adopting the shift+/ shortcut you're able to leverage existing user patterns and match users existing expectations for how a web app works. Which overall provides a better frictionless experience for the user.

Hi @N-Onorato, thank you for bringing this up. We will definitely brainstorm on this and decide on the most feasible option.

@N-Onorato, this is super helpful. Thanks for sharing the standards with us. We are also planning to adopt the same (Shift + /). We’ll pick this up for our next release.
