Add hotkey CMD+D to discard clip (similar to Adobe/GIMP)

[niftylettuce]

Would love to have hotkeys for discard, similar to Adobe/GIMP, the confirmation prompt to Discard a recording should have a hotkey binded to it, e.g. CMD+D.

Hi! I'm fairly new to open source contribution but would love to give this issue a shot. If assigned this issue, would I be able to receive guidance/assistance?

Hi, is this issue still open?

This is still open! We have fairly limited bandwidth, but I'd be very happy to help review a test build if you end up contributing a PR 😄

Hi @skllcrn, it looks like this hasn't been worked on yet. I'd like to contribute but wanted clarification.

Is the desired action that pressing the hotkey opens the prompt? Or is it confirming deletion once the prompt window is open?

Thanks!

I think (correct me if I'm wrong, someone who's used Adobe/GIMP) the desired action is:

1. CMD+D opens a prompt to discard the recording from the editor
2. Prompt confirms that deletion is wanted and confirming deletes the recording.

Sorry if that's not the question!

That was my question! Thank you.

I'll give it a try.

I think a good optimisation would be to not warn on discarding a recording than has been exported, but won't cmd + d be equal to cmd + w, closing the active window?

Hi @skllcrn , this actually depends on how you interpret it. If by discarding, you mean that the active window closes, then yes, cmd + d would be the same is cmd + w.

However, if it means that just the recording is discarded but the active window remains as it is, then cmd + d actually makes more sense.

Is this issue still open? I would love to work on this!
