Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
The W shortcut runs 'Double selected duration' and the Q shortcut runs 'Halve selected duration'. In main, these shortcuts are still assigned correctly in preferences, but when run they do the opposite of what they're supposed to do.
