This is a neat concept!

One not-so-obvious accessibility issue with keyboard shortcuts on websites is that if they're too simple (especially single-character), it's easy for them to conflict with assistive technologies like screen readers.

Maybe consider including a pointer to https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#character-key-shortcuts in the docs (and/or as some sort of warning message if a user tries to configure a custom single character shortcut).

Interesting, thank you point that out! I will definitely need to improve accessibility.
