[feature] Able to record shortcuts that include multiple letters

[stephanknotek]

Proposal

I use Freshservice for work and many of the shortcuts don't use modifier keys, but instead use 2 letters i.e. g + d, g + b, etc. and I realized when trying to record these shortcuts in KeyClu that it is currently only possible to include any combination of modifier keys with up to 1 character. It would be great if I could record these aforementioned shortcuts as well, or if it isn't possible using the recording method of inputting a shortcut, even just being able to choose to enter the shortcut as plain text instead of recording it would be a very welcome and appreciated update. Thanks as always for your incredible development!

Alternatives

Have the option to, instead of recording a shortcut, type out a given shortcut in plain text, particularly for shortcuts that require more than 1 standard key (letter, number, symbol, etc.). e.g. it is currently impossible to record a shortcut such as g + d because it is only possible to include 1 standard key in a given shortcut using the recording method of inputting a shortcut.

Hey stephanknotek,
Thanks for the interest and proposal.

Technically, it's feasible to create such shortcut, complete recording and "typing" via a tap on the menu item. However, this feature deviates from the app's original purpose, which is to help learn the keys.

I've noticed similar menu items in other apps that require a few keystrokes to trigger actions, whereas, as you know, macOS is limited to a single shortcut trigger in menus. It's amusing how this limitation has been creatively addressed - check out the screenshot.

As for now you also can do the same with "My Shortcuts".

Still, it's a cool idea, and I might consider implementing it in the future.

+1 for this request. I've been learning FreeCad recently and it uses the same kind of multi key shortcuts, and FreeCad has a lot of combinations to try and remember! Thanks
