To add a very common shortcut (at least on macOS) when dealing with an application that can show multiple documents, tabs, etc: ⌘1 - ⌘9 can usually be used to access the first 9 items. In this case: The first 9 vaults in the vault list.
This used to work in Cryptomator 1.4.x already (see #79).
On Windows, a common shortcut for opening preferences dose not exist. We need to discuss, if we should introduce one or don't add one at all for this functionality.
In dc3a951a1be1cbe4ed9ea02444f8c9eeacf69796 and defa9c75eb513dd2ea795db7115ed4abaf76417c hotkeys for selecting one of the first nine vaults and removing a selected vault are added.
If JavaFX is capable of generating automatically mnemonic shortcuts, we should also consider this for creating hotkeys.
@infeo it would be great if there was a (user customizable) global hotkey to lock all vaults at once. also if vaults are locked by hotkey, they should prompt for the password next time they're being unlocked imho.
you could call this hotkey action "seal all vaults" or something similar. which conveys the idea that once sealed, password is required to unlock again.
