Elgato Stream Deck Neo. Don't worry, you're not alone. I constantly find myself running out of shortcut keys, especially when I'm working across multiple programs. Sure, most gaming peripheral softwares these days have an option that lets you program different inputs for different apps, but this requires said software to be open, running, and working as intended when you switch between apps.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I took one apart when I was in Kindergarten, does that count? (I put it back together, jeez.)

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I have a hit-list of people who call me before noon. Do not ever try to pitch me by calling me, and especially not before noon.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No. I played a lot of sports and wrote one-act plays. Journalism is just my side-hustle :)
