Working in designer, and find myself using the align buttons pretty often. Is there a keyboard shortcut for “Align (side) edge of objects”, or is there a way to setup custom key shortcuts?

doesnt look like it

idk if there is an other way, but to add a keybinding you probably will have to dig into the javadocs for it. And probably will require you to make a module, which is quite the work xd

Ignition is great, but shortcut keys are such a basic feature every development tool should have. It's a pity it lacks that.
