How do I change my keyboard shortcuts

As above, doesn’t seem to be a clear and obvious solution in the Figma UI

Hey @Olly_the_Designer ,
In order to change your keyboard shorcut, you can:

1. Click in ‘?’ icon in the bottom-right and select Keyboard shortcuts

2. Select the Layout tab.
3. Use the dropdown to update your layout
   
   

• or, use the keyboard shortcut:
  • Mac: ⌃ ControlShift?
  • Windows: CtrlShift?

I hope this helps!

Thanks

When will this fundamental aspect be added? It can be done on other design platforms, and many of the shortcuts are not memorable and do not contribute to an enhanced workflow.

Accessibility is something that is regulated, so I don’t think ‘voting’ for it is necessary when it should be something that is focussed on. I find the current approach quite discriminating.
