Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

There is no keyboard shortcut to change the number of months visible. This can only be done by manually clicking one the icons at the top of the screen:

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Keyboard shortcuts to change this without mouse clicks. My initial idea is to use the # keys to change the number of months. Naturally, this will be limited to up to 10 months, but who is looking at more than 10 months? That seems like a perfectly reasonable limitation.

Example

Pressing 1 would only show 1 month, pressing 2 would show 2 months, and so on- up to 10 (pressing 0).

Teaching and learning

Add the keyboard shortcuts to the "keyboard shortcuts" window in the app. Can also list these in the docs, where the other keyboard shortcuts are found.
