Description
Increasing Access
Feature request details
The p5.js web editor currently has built-in keyboard shortcuts for common operations (like Cmd/Ctrl+S to save, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to run), but users cannot customize these shortcuts according to their preferences or workflow. Adding a keyboard shortcut customization panel would enhance accessibility and user experience, especially for users who:
Come from other IDEs with different shortcut conventions
Have physical accessibility needs requiring alternative key combinations
Want to optimize their workflow with personalized shortcuts.
Add a settings panel where users can:
View all available keyboard shortcuts in one place
Customize existing shortcuts to their preference
Reset shortcuts to defaults
Export/import shortcut configurations
Detect and warn about conflicting key bindings

Research direction
Begin by locating the web editor's existing keyboard shortcut handling and settings-panel entry point. Define how shortcuts are listed, edited, reset, imported/exported, and checked for conflicts; done means each requested behavior works and conflicting key bindings produce a warning.
