Plz add an icon in toolbar for adding a torrent by magnet/http link. Currently links can only be added via file menu. Considering how common magnet links are on the torrent sites nowadays, this is very important.

PS a keyboard shortcut for this purpose would also be welcome addition.

EDIT: I found someone has already made this request but developer did not see it as important:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/413

My use-case is that I use a portable version of qbittorrent. So, I can't associate this app with magnet links, I have to manually copy links from browser then add to qbittorrent. Having a toolbar icon will ease the process a bit.

Looks like this request won't be entertained.

May I make a smaller request: Add a keyboard shortcut for "Add link to torrent...". I think ctrl+K will be appropriate.
