Sharex: Possible to Customise Image Editor Keyboard Shortcuts?

Is it possible to customise the ShareX image editor or the Greenshot editor's keyboard shortcuts for various functions?

ShareX is great. The one things I'd love is a shortcut key to resize image as I have to resize every single screenshot I take. Any chance of adding a shortcut for that?

Not possible.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I think this would be a worthy enhancement as it will allow users to significantly increase their speed when editing screenshots. This is invaluable for those of us who are heavy users of ShareX.

Keep up the great work!

This would be pretty difficult to implement especially mouse modifier hotkeys which allows changing behaviors when you hold ctrl, alt, shift etc.

But indeed for tools etc. would be nice to have changeable hotkeys.

Fair enough. Perhaps it would be easier to initially implement it without support for the mouse modifier hotkeys then? I know I would be thrilled to have this functionality even if mouse modifier hotkeys weren't supported.

I have used Greenshot and this was one of the biggest ones I miss.

In greenshot when I wanted to do a line, I just pressed L. An Arrow? Press A. If this functionality would show up in ShareX it would be killer!

I just updated to ShareX 12.1.0. Previously I had the Greenshot Editor set as the image editor where I had shortcuts for pretty much any action - highlighting, arrows, lines, etc.

I would love to be able to use keyboard shortcuts to select tools.

glad to see im not the only one having this issue. the Greenshot editor was mway better due to the shortcuts, and this ShareX editor is definitely a step back.. hope you guys can improve this asap.. as for me and my colleagues, we can't stand not having those keyboard shortcuts.. we gonna have to revert back to previous version with greenshot editor. :(

Added keybinds for tasks and tools: https://getsharex.com/docs/region-capture

Please allow to customize all kinds of hotkeys, in various places.
For example, these:

I was a bit frustrated with ctrl+shift+c being the shortcut for copying screenshots rather than ctrl+c as I found myself constantly copying the cursor coordinates instead of the screenshot. In case it's helpful to anyone else, I wrote an autohotkey script to swap it to ctrl+c:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#Persistent
SetTitleMatchMode, 1
Return

#If WinActive("ahk_exe ShareX.exe") and WinActive("ShareX - Image editor -")
^C::
Send ^+c
Return

It just sends ctrl+shift+c in place of ctrl+c when the sharex image editor is the active window. Feel free to use it.

I don't get why CTRL+C shouldn't be the one for this...
