Hi everyone,

I hope that someone who is familiar with Subtitle Edit might be able to help answer my questions.

Hi everyone,

I feel like there must be a way to configure this in the Shortcut Settings, but I haven't found what I am looking for yet.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help! ▲ Collapse
