Your use case

What would you like to do?

current shortcuts as far as i can see are
image

i would like to make them more logical and add a toggle for the room list

Why would you like to do it?

easier to remember, additional feature

How would you like to achieve it?

what is Ctrl+Shift+D based on? D seems unrelated to "Space". it is also a big 3 keys combo out of nowhere.

suggestion:

  1. keep right panel with Ctrl+. Shortcuts: Cmd/Ctrl-. to toggle the right panel #12248
  2. add room list with Ctrl+, (the key left of .)
  3. update space panel to Ctrl+Shift+, where Shift = "even further left". Also because Ctrl+M in my browser is taken.

Have you considered any alternatives?

an alternative with 2 or 3 keys next to each other

Additional context

#3232

Affordance with other messengers e.g Slack https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/help/articles/201374536-Slack-keyboard-shortcuts#windows-linux-1

Cmd , is open preferences, Slack uses Ctrl , for preferences also

Cmd , is open preferences

What's the exact name of that shortcut in Element keyboard settings? I can't find any that uses comma.

This opens the keyboard settings (on my German keyboard, / is on Shift 7 and Ctrl Shift 7 does not work. Only the / in the numblock works).

It is Electron + macOS only (and noted wrong, without the Cmd descriptor)

Correct in the window menu though
