Enhancement details
Enhancement description
A lot of the keys within the PDE are currently hard-coded, we have a system to set up dynamic keybindings but we need help to replace older usages
Benefits
Customising keybindings is important for accessibility as not everyone has a ASCII? based keyboard and some keybindings might be hard to use on other layouts.
