Support for adding mutiple keys to one shortcut #35631

@CyberReaper00

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The current implementation in KBM is that you can create a remapping to an existing shortcut
eg. ALT+Q > ALT+F4

It also allows for chording on the keypress to execute something else
eg. ALT+A, Q > Write some text || Tab || open a program

This is nice and all but what i want is not only the ability to remap my shortcuts but add as many keys (not just text, but also non-printable keys) as I want to be executed on the other side
eg. CTRL+: > Enter, a, Space, 2, 3, Tab, Tab, b, "

The above example is a bit ridiculous but you get my point
Not just text symbols but non-printable symbols as well alongside anything else

There are only two shortcuts that require this extent of remapping on my machine and because KBM doesnt support this, I have to use auto hotkey. Just for those two remaps

If this were to be implemented into KBM then I could just use one program for everything and never look at anything else
Could someone please look into adding this to KBM

P.S.
I have looked at other issues as well and this one #26441 is the closest thing i could find to my problem but it was closed without being properly resolved because some idiot thought that the aforementioned issue and this one #4508 are the same thing

Even though if you actually read through them they are going over completely different feature requests

Scenario when this would be used?

To combine multiple shortcuts into one
To perform multiple repetitive key presses at once
