Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

OrcaSlicer is obviously great, but camera navigation (among other things) is cumbersome, especially for anyone with arthritis/carpal tunnel/hand issues. The current camera control keybinds are CTRL+1-6, and the select extruder/filament keybinds are 1-x. I would suspect that significantly fewer users have the need to, or even use at all, the number keys for filament/extruder selection. Camera controls however are incredibly common and frequently used.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Having the ability to change shortcuts in general would be ideal for those users that prefer easier camera manipulation, or other custom shortcuts. If not, the ability to toggle a swap between those shortcuts would also be good.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Yes, I am aware that you can just "build it yourself", but that isn't a great option for the vast majority of users.
Solutions like AHK or AutoIt are possible, but cumbersome and, again, out of reach for the vast majority of users.
Other slicers exist, but they all pale in comparison.
