Shortcut for "translate selected text"

[Manuelctr]

It takes a long time to right-click and select "Translate Selected Text" when there can be just a shortcut for that, you select the text and press the shortcut and the floating text box appears translating.
My suggestion for the shortcut would be Ctrl + Space.

yeah, I miss that option too. Until they add it, I'll stick with Simple Translate addon

I came up with this idea after looking for a keyboard shortcut for this function. You got my kudo, great idea!

Until now I have been using ImTranslator extension. This extension lets you set up a keyboard shortcut to translate a selected piece of text.

Add quick shortcut for translating the selection (similar to the chatbot shortcut)

Currently, I believe that by setting some flags, the chatbot shortcut appears upon selecting a text, and it would be easier to access the translation to have a similar button next to the chatbot, bypassing the current process of right-clicking and clicking the "Translate the selection".

Of course we need a hotkey for translation. Why are there even discussions?
