Description
Your use case
What would you like to do?
Add a shortcut for adding links or linking highlighted text.
Why would you like to do it?
Often when I'm writing messages, I'll write everything up first then add links afterwards. (Usually because I'll have to navigate to the pages manually to copy the URL over.)
This is faster to do with a shortcut rather than manually formatting/inserting the []() characters myself.
How would you like to achieve it?
In my opinion, GitHub offers the best UX for this.
Normally CTRL + K would be used for adding a URL, but IMs usually use this for finding chat rooms instead.
Key combination Microsoft Windows/KDE/GNOME CTRL+KInsert hyperlink (word processing) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Table_of_examples
The following applications utilize CTRL + K for this purpose already:
The next thought would probably be CTRL + SHIFT + K, it's worth noting browsers use this to open the dev tools console, so that might bother developers/debuggers, though.
Ideally, it should be something similar to CTRL + K so it feels more consistent with other software. ^-^'
