Keyboard settings list lacks markers for user changes and Restore Defaults option for a single entry

Under the

Tools > Options > General > Keyboard

there is a quite long list. Thus if a user changes something, it is quite predictable that a user will forget about it - and might waste time on some discussion on this forum, reporting a "bug". And so maybe entries that were changed by a user should be somehow marked? With some clearly visible sign before its name, in a separate column?


And: although there is this Restore Defaults button - it works for all entries all together. Thus there should be such a button available also under the

Tools > Options > General > Keyboard > Edit

which would affect only currently edited entraUnder the

I have put on my TODO list to make modified keyboard shortcut command items bold.

I will consider a restore default button for a single command.

Thank you for the suggestions.

As for the already now existing Restore Defaults button

Maybe after clicking it there should be a pop-up warning, informing users what is about to happen? If some user has many changes done and little or no backups of settings - they such user might be in for an unwanted surprise later on. Yes- there is the overall Cancel button - but that is not the same as a plain warning for such nuclear option [i.e. a total wipe out]. A confirmation of resetting to defaults could be just the right fail-safe for those users which are a little inexperienced or plan inept

I will consider a displaying a warning dialog when clicking the Restore Defaults button.

Thank you for the suggestion.
