I want to have my own custom shortcuts for the commands that I use regularly as per my convenient settings

Allow the user to choose from presets of keyboard shortcuts that map the relevant functionality which is shared between Descript and other DAWs such as Audacity.

Your key commands for editing (E, W, Q) are designed for someone using their right hand on the mouse/trackpad and their left hand on the keyboard. This is quite awkward for someone who uses their left. hand for the mouse as it places the right way off the home position on the keyboard. Can you have a way that lefties can use this as easily/ergonomically?

As a left-handed TrackPad user, the Q and W keys are unreachable while also tapping on the TrackPad with my left hand. Can we get some right-handed keys — P and O, maybe? — that I can press with my right hand while tapping with my left?

I would like to be able to "go back" only using the left side of the keyboard.

we really need the option to create our own customizable hot keys, especially for those of us used to using a DAW. the click to correct capitalization and punctuation doesn't work most of the time. also, editing "like a word doc" messes up the audio because it doesn't edit the audio recording as well, which makes it a waste of time since you have to go back and re-edit it to make it match. Speakers keep changing back and getting messed up.

We need Q and W or whatever keys i guess people would assign, but the way I envision it, like in other editing software, when you're hovered over the waveform, Q would take the start of the current clip in to the playhead, W would take the end of the current clip in to the playhead. I find myself trying to do clean up and finding the right spot with the mouse, but then having to leave the mouse position to go and fuss with the trim tool on the edges.

Ctrl E is an often used hotkey (to switch between edit media and edit transcript.)

Ctrl W is insta crash ... right next to Ctrl E.

Plz allow us to reassign hot keys. For instance, I really want to use the IGNORE hot key (command - delete) while I'm editing my script, but I would have to take my hand off my mouse, so I'm actually not saving any time. If I could assign it to say Q, I could highlight with my mouse, hit Q and keep moving.
