Feature request: configurable keyboard shortcuts for custom objects

[ViniDAC]

Description

Standard objects (Company, Task, Note, etc.) have keyboard shortcuts for navigation (e.g. G+C for Companies). Custom objects have no way to get keyboard shortcuts assigned.

Current behaviour

Only standard objects defined in the source code have Go To shortcuts. Custom objects created via the UI or API cannot be navigated to via keyboard, only through the Cmd+K command palette.

Proposed solution

A settings section (under Settings > Data Model or a dedicated Keyboard Shortcuts page) where admins can:

1. View all current keyboard shortcuts
2. Assign Go To shortcuts to custom objects (e.g. G+A for a custom "Candidate" object)
3. Reassign or disable default shortcuts if needed

The shortcut field already exists on objectMetadata in the database, so the backend infrastructure is partially there. This would need a frontend settings UI and the hotkey registration to read from metadata rather than being hardcoded.

Use case

We run a recruitment CRM with 6 custom objects (Candidate, Contact, Job, Submission, Interview, Placement) that are navigated far more frequently than the default Person or Opportunity objects. Being able to assign shortcuts like G+A (Candidates), G+J (Jobs), G+I (Interviews) would significantly improve keyboard-only workflow speed.

Environment

Self-hosted v1.21.2

To be honest, I think we should remove this feature at some point rather than expand it (too many objects, not enough single letters). I think we should have a single shortcut system with regular ⌘/⌥ commands that you could assign to whatever you like.

Happy to discuss this though!
