…tcuts (joplin#122) Users can now configure up to 10 custom keyboard shortcuts for specific templates via Settings > Templates > 'Template keyboard shortcuts (JSON)'. Each entry in the JSON array specifies: - templateId: the Joplin note ID of the template - action: 'newNote', 'newTodo', or 'insertText' - label: human-readable label shown in the menu - accelerator: keyboard shortcut string (e.g. 'Ctrl+Alt+1'), or empty Configured shortcuts appear as a 'Template shortcuts' submenu under the Templates menu. A dedicated Joplin command is registered for each entry (templateShortcut_1 through templateShortcut_10), so shortcuts can also be customised further via Joplin's built-in keyboard shortcut editor. Closes joplin#122

Thanks for the PR @imshubham22apr-gif. The feature addresses a real need, but I'm not sure about the JSON config approach, it requires users to hand-write JSON with note IDs, which is error-prone and hard to discover. I've posted an alternative design on #122 that I think would work better. Closing this in favour of that approach.
