Keyboard shortcut for inline notes

Inline notes are very useful, and I'd love a keyboard shortcut for them. (Or, as others have mentioned, ability to customize shortcuts!)

Add keyboard shortcut to Inline Comment

Using Inline Comment a lot I could use a fast way to add this by keyboard.
Inline Comments are used to ask questions that I need answered later, or by a speaker. The # comment isn't very good for this, I use it to name and number / chapters.
The side comment isn't good because you can't see the text as easily as when it is inline.
Ctrl-Shift-I seems unoccupied.

Andrew Mason: THIS WOULD SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME IF DESCRIPT HAD THIS FEATURE. This also needs the ability to: 1. Select a block of text with your cursor. 2. Right click with your mouse. 3. menu appears. 4. User selects inline notes from the menu. 5. on release of mouse button. The selected text is automatically turned into a inline comment.

Often I write my script outside of descript. Also, it would be nice to upload a text file with Descript formatting. example.. inline notes () ...scene shortcut, \. . After upload, descript would parse the text file. and we are all done.

Andrew Mason: Oh great! I didn't know that did it. (I couldn't find that see it on the dropdown with the others, or find it on the help page https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042639791-Keyboard-shortcuts)
