Which keyboard shortcut quickly adds a new block while editing an app?

In Jestor, while editing an app, simply pressing the F key quickly opens the option to add a new block, with no need to dig through menus to find that command.

How the shortcut works

This shortcut had been away from the platform for a while and came back as part of recent app-editing improvements. With builder mode on, pressing F opens the block-selection interface directly, speeding up dashboard and page building without having to click through several menus to get to that option.
