I wonder whether it is already possible to produce a shortcut for this feature. I looked through Options -\> Customize key bindings. And could not find any. It would be very welcome.

Hi,
as there are different ways to attach a file, it woul be helpful which you mean?
In the entry editor or in the main table?
Both also work with drag and drop.

Hi Christoph
I work with the maintable, right click on an entry, choose “attach a file” and select in the dialog which then opens. For this “attach a file” I would like a keyboard shortcut and did not see how to do that.
