Feature description

I'm trying to use the "Replace with Translation" feature. Is there a keyboard shortcut available for this function? If not, is it possible to configure one? I couldn't find relevant information in the documentation.

Thank you for your assistance.

Use case

For example, the user selects a portion of text in the email draft in gmail that they wish to translate and replace with the translated version.

Currently, there is no shortcut key for this, as there may be multiple service translation results, and it cannot be determined which service to use for the translation replacement.

In my case, I only use one; I only have one translation service activated. In fact, I find it hard to understand the usefulness of having more than one service to do the same thing. What I have done is try for a while, see which one is the best (or the one that best fits my needs), and keep only that one activated.

Having the option to select a text and automatically replace it with the translation without going through the widget, as other solutions do, would be wonderful. Let's see if someone who thinks the same appears.

Thank you.
