Dear all,
As shown in the figure below, to insert an item, one could use alt-I. But I find it does not work at all.
Can we modify this shortcut by hacking into TeXmacs?
Best,

How to modify build-in shortcut for items in menubar
One can add a new shortcut, using kbd-map (let me know if you need more detail).
There is also an undocumented function, kbd-unmap (How to disable a builtin keyboard shortcut without modifying system files), that removes existing shortcuts, which does not work on the shortcut for starting a list (further post in the same thread reports the same How to disable a builtin keyboard shortcut without modifying system files).
This said, in my TeXmacs the shortcut for a new list is alt-i with lowercase i. Capital I does not work. Could you try lowercase i?

More information:
the command for a new list is (make-tmlist 'itemize)
The shortcut is defined text/text-kbd.scm in as
("text i" (make-tmlist 'itemize))
and I did not figure out how the key that corresponds to text is assigned.

Use + tab
You can use the alternative markdown style shortcut: + tab.
And that’s a solved problem in Mogan Research v1.2.2:
I have removed Alt+I in Mogan Research because it is conflicted with the macOS system shortcut.
Mogan Research is a distribution of GNU TeXmacs, you can install it along with GNU TeXmacs.
Use esc esc i to simulate Alt i
I guess you are using the Emacs keyboard style, for GNU TeXmacs, in the macOS keyboard style, it is Ctrl i instead of Alt i. Using esc, esc esc, esc esc esc to simulate the prefix key is documented in Help -> Configuration -> Keyboard Configuration
Define your own keyboard via Scheme
That’s a bit complicated, you’d better read carefully about the Scheme related documents, and then start to customize GNU TeXmacs via Scheme.

text is a key prefix defined in
text is cmd, and cmd is A- for Emacs/Linux/Windows styles but is C- for macOS in GNU TeXmacs.
It means if we re-define text to ctrl, all shortcuts prefixed with text will be prefixed by ctrl.
