Searching keyboard shortcuts by pressing keys

Feedback and Discussion Forum Adding Features

Hello.
Please, could You add to Audacity feature (specially to Windows Audacity) searching keyboard shortcuts by pressing key shortcut? For example I would like to bind key to one action, but I don’t know, if this key shortcut was used for another action. It’ll be easy for me to know keyboard shortcuts, which I can’t used for certain actions.
Thank You.
Best regards
Marco Oros

The Manual has a full list of keyboard shortcuts:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/keyboard_shortcut_reference.html

Beware there are two sets of shortcuts provided:

1) Standard
This is the default set - it is cut down to provide more free keys for users’ custom settings

2) Full
This is really provided for VI users (and keyboard warriors) a more complete set

What I usually do is try a key or key combination in Keyboard preferences - Audacity will then tell you
a) if that key is already in use, and
b) ask if you want to overwrite that with your new shortcut key binding.

Peter.

Thanks.
I have finally found in radio button one, that says find keys by shortcut. After that I have pressed shortcut and I have finally find this shortcut. If list is empty, It means, that I can use this shortcut for another action, because this shortcut is not uses.
