Adding multiple shortcut options for one action

Sorry if someone already asked the same thing, 

There is a field to enter customized shortcuts to a specific action (like Ctrl+K to show preview screen etc.) under Options,

but it seemed it is not possible to set multiple set of key comibinations (like Ctrl+ K and Ctrl+ P both trigger preview)

because once you enter a specific key combination pair, the option to enter further shortcuts by comma separate is disabled.

If you try to write "Ctrl+ K, Ctrl+ P" in notepad and then try to paste it to the field, you only get Ctrl+V entered in option field.

I see at least it is possible to allocate multiple key action pair to one edit action because pre-defined ones sometimes have two option for one action - how is it possible to customize? The version is 2022 but it seemed this is the same for all versions, 

thanks for your kind help in advance!

  • In general I agree with you, having too many shortcuts makes them harder to remember. I just see one exception: QuickPlace for tags: I need here both CTRL+, AND CTRL+ALT+ARROW RIGHT/LEFT. Depending on the situation the use of one of those is faster. Usually I am faster with the arrow keys (old habit from Trados 2007 and before), but sometimes CTRL+, is better. Sometimes even CTRL+click is a good option, that really depends.
