Add the ability to change shortcuts

[Aly-ve]

Good evening everyone,

I've recently begun to use Phanpy which is, honestly, pretty awesome and one of my favorite alternative front-ends so far.

Nevertheless, I am not using a classical keyboard layout (I use bépo) and I love to navigate with my keyboard.

I checked the source code and I would like to append a shortcuts switcher. The aim of this topic is to determine which way you prefer − or not.

In my mind, I would centralize the shortcuts in an object like this one:

const hotKeysQwerty = {
   nextMessage: "j",
   previousMessage: "k",
   //
}

// and to use it 
useHotkeys(window[hotkeyLayout].nextMessage, [...]);

And a parameter, such as a select input into Phanpy's settings would be great and would change the hotkey object. It should not change performance due to an additional condition by saving them on the window object.

May I know what do you think of this idea ?
There is no problem if you are not agree with this. It's a rare usecase and almost everyone is using qwerty or azerty layout. I think this is an exception.
In this case, I would like to centralize hotkeys to change them in an easy way before building Phanpy.

Thank you for reading. (:

Kind regards.
