Current behavior

⌘S now is the shortcut for "Save As". However, it is a solid habit for me to use it as "Save" in all other editors. Now every time I finish the editing, ⌘S would trigger the save as panel. It is really annoying when I use Boost Note as a daily note keeper or editor.

Expected behavior

Use ⌘S for "Sync", and ⌘⇧S for "Save as". Or we can customize this as discussed in #367 #700 .

Yes, exactly my thoughts as well. It's incredibly annoying to have the "Save As" window pop up every time I reflexively press Cmd+S

Hi,

I agree with you, it's general user habit to save the document which is being edited with that shortcut (and since boostnote saves it automatically - the shortcut is bound to another action). I think we will probably introduce custom keymaps soon enough, so you should be able to change it to your liking.

Yeah, I think we should introduce the customizable keymap really soon. I'll try to prioritize this task.

Custom keymap is introduced for the local app, https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next-local.

If you still need it for the cloud space app, please reopen this issue.
