Hi SergeiBaklan,
Thanks for expanding on these!
Yes, the QAT is actually a great method as you've mentioned. I completely forgot about this nifty little tool!
Regarding keyboard shortcuts, somehow Alt + E + S +V + Enter feels a lot more intuitive for me. Maybe it's because E and S are right next to each other, and V isn't that far off either. What's more, all 3 letters reside in the left side of the QWERTY keyboard configuration!
Best,
Justin
