Allow clicking on shortcuts displayed #114

Problem

You want to take a screenshot of a portion of your screen and copy it to the clipboard, you forgot the keyboard shortcut. You bring up the shortcut overlay, you now have to let go of the mouse to do the complex keyboard shortcut, and immediately after grab the mouse again to drag and select the area. You had to interrupt yourself and change your position for a simple task.

Proposal

Allow clicking the shortcuts to trigger their actions : I could bring up the shortcut overlay and simply click on "Copy an area to clipboard" and then drag to select the area, I wouldn't have to let go of the mouse and could stay in my position and get going faster. It could enhance the shortcut overlay to be not only a static reminder but sort of a command palette.
