French Keyboard Shortcut Discrepancy: Alt+Q (Web) vs. Alt+A (Desktop)

I've noticed a confusing inconsistency with the microphone mute/unmute shortcut key in the French version of Zoom.
In the web version, the shortcut is Alt+Q. However, in the desktop application, the shortcut is Alt+A.
This is confusing for French-speaking users who switch between the web and desktop apps. The Alt+A shortcut makes more sense on a French (AZERTY) keyboard and is a common shortcut for "audio" or "mute" in many other applications. The Alt+Q shortcut, however, feels arbitrary.
Is there a specific reason for this difference? Are there any plans to unify the shortcut key for better user consistency?
Thanks for any insights!
