Feature Request: Include a Keyboard Shortcut to Toggle Light/Dark Themes
Summary:
Allow users to quickly toggle between light and dark themes using a dedicated keyboard shortcut in the GNOME desktop environment.
Background:
With the increasing popularity of dark themes in applications and operating systems, it has become common for users to switch between light and dark themes based on their environment, time of day, or personal preference. Currently, GNOME users have to go through the settings or tweaks tool to change the theme, which can be time-consuming and interrupt the user's workflow.
Proposal:
Introduce a default keyboard shortcut in GNOME that allows users to toggle between light and dark themes seamlessly.
Benefits:
- Enhanced User Experience: A dedicated shortcut would enhance the user experience by allowing faster and more convenient theme switching.
- Accessibility: For some users, especially those with certain visual impairments, the ability to quickly switch themes can be an accessibility feature.
- Staying Updated with Modern UX Patterns: Many applications and platforms are incorporating theme switching shortcuts, making it a familiar and expected pattern for many users.
Closing:
I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to the GNOME desktop environment. It aligns with the general trend in UI/UX and offers genuine convenience and benefits to users. I hope the GNOME team will consider implementing it in a future release.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
