Multiple shortcut keys
-
The functions of VS are many and powerful, and there are also many similar tools with different application scenarios. Can multiple shortcut keys be set? This makes it convenient for users to remember and add similar tools in one key. For example: the polygon tool is pressed (s), and the star tool is pressed (ss). And so on, users should have about three levels which is enough. More convenient and faster, I hope to add this feature.

Yes, but it is a bit different. In VS we have multi-stroke shortcuts, which means that you can create a shortcut that consists of multiple key presses. For example "s 1" and "s 2" can be different shortcuts.
But the case you mentioned would not work, since it would execute the action assigned to first (single) key when it is pressed, and double key would not be executed.
Also: limited to tools only, pressing a tool shortcut again will return to the previous tool.

@VectorStyler Pressing a function key twice in a row will return to the previous tool. I think this setting is a bit unconventional and may conflict with some other functions. In any tool, ctrl is the mouse pointer selection tool, space is the screen capture tool, and space + ctrl is the magnifying glass tool. I often encounter the failure of these three tools. I don't know if this is related?

Not related to shortcuts. How does the failure manifests? Is the pan/zoom not working?
-
@VectorStyler Yes, they don't work.

@monsterfox Pan/zoom works for me. To zoom press Ctrl first and then space bar, click mouse and move it up and down.

@VectorStyler I set the shortcut key in your way, but it didn't work,Why is that?
-
@monsterfox Sorry, I gave the wrong example (the number keys are fixed). So first remove the "S" shortcut (assigned to the Pattern tool), and then create for example "S X" for some tool and "S Y" for another tool. This should work.
