Hi,
For years I've had "sort" bound to Ctrl-1 as a "custom command" and it makes tidying things easy. Just set up a new machine and was looking around for 15 minutes in the preferences trying to find where I configured it. Finally had to break down and google it. Finally found it, buried three menus deep under Edit.
Was wondering if the "custom commands" configuration could be moved/copied into the preferences. Might also introduce some folks to the feature in a more obvious place.

The other school of thought is that setting the commands being next to the menu items invoking them makes it more discoverable than hidden in the preferences. In your case that is somewhat negated by having a fixed command and always using the keybinding.

Well, a button in Edit->Preferences->Editor->Features that invoked Edit->Format->Send Selection to->Set Custom Commands might be ok if somebody made a PR to do it.

Thanks. It seems like an easy change, although I'm not sure how long it would take me to do it. Probably several days to figure everything out.
