Shortcut for "Lock" - allow previewing of chords easily

Please add a shortcut for “Lock”.
I am forever locking and unlocking so that I can preview chords before entering them in.

Re Previewing Chords:
I would be nice to be able to preview chords more easily in general, perhaps on hover etc. HookPad seems to assume I know which chords to enter in next - when I bet 90% of users are creatively experimenting with chord choices - yet HookPad likes to add chords, doesn’t let you drag and drop to rearrange chords (yes copy, insert, paste etc. is a terrible workaround), disallows previewing chords easily - a missed opportunity.

Yes I know you can select a chord and then change it, thereby trying out all sorts of combinations, but is not ideal. E.g. I want to swap a chord so select it, magic shows me some possibilities, But first I want to hear the previous chord again for context, so click on it - now magic shows different chords, yikes I’ve lost access to the magic chords I want. So I can’t actually preview the previous chord plus a possible new magic suggested chord without clicking on and hearing the old chord I want to replace.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion! After Hookpad’s next update you will able to toggle the lock button with “P”

Thanks for that - the latest version 2.32.10 now has ‘p’ as the shortcut according to the hover hint.

But pressing ‘p’ causes play/pause, and uppercase ‘P’ shows the piano keyboard. So the shortcut isn’t working for me (Mac, Chrome or Safari - both act the same).

Yes, we changed the shortcut to “G” as “P” was already taken for YouTube stuff. I forgot to change the label. I’ll fix that right away. Sorry for the confusion!
