Description

One of the most handy shortcuts I use a lot in Notion is pressing CTRL+/ at any block and it allows me to change its type.
In Appflowy however, I have to manually hover over the control icon and select "Turn Into" option to do that.
A shortcut for this would be appreciated.

Edit: CTRL+/ in Notion basically opens the control menu for the current block, where you also have a search bar. So for example I search "H3" in the search bar, and it gives me the option to change the block type to H3 heading.

Screenshots attached below:

Clicked CTRL+/ on a block:
Searched for H3:
Turned the block into a H3 heading:

Impact

Improves the user experience for the general users by reducing the number of steps required to change a block's type.
