@roaoao I was wondering if there are any plans to support key-chords as a shortcut system in PME or if something similar already exists?
Key-chords allow for a much wider mapping of functionality to keys and they also vastly expand the number of possible shortcuts. They have been around for a long time, particularly in text editing software. The main idea is to press a key combination to activate a mini shortcut context and follow that with another combination to execute functionality.
This is nicely implemented in VSCode. For instance, pressing Ctrl+K and then M allows for changing the language. But you can also use M by itself, or map another functionality to Ctrl+G, M.
I just wanted to run the idea by you, see if there are any plans for it, or if it’s already possible. Thank you for your great addon.
