Allow binding keys to a nested action, to open the palette directly to it's children

[junefranklin]

the problem:

currently every time i go change the colour scheme of my profile because i walk into an area with different lighting and need different contrast, i have to laboriously click the colour scheme dropdown, select my scheme i want to try, then drag my mouse over to the apply button, then switch tabs back to that profile to see if it suits my lighting, which it might not, in which case i have to go do that process again.

naturally it would be nice to use keyboard shortcuts for most of this:
1: ctrl+shift+tab to switch between settings and my terminal window
2: mouse is already over the dropdown, click to enter dropdown
3: use arrow keys to select colour profile, enter
4: >>>>press enter to apply<<<<
5: ctrl+shift+tab to switch back and check the colour scheme works

having it that way wouldnt require me to move my mouse at all, very convenient.

simple solution:
pressing enter applies changes in settings menu

You might be a LOT happier with the "instant, temporary, per-terminal" version of this...

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P
2. Search for "set color scheme" (or "col" or "setsch" or whatever; adjust for your language)
3. Choose a scheme with the arrows and hit enter.

The Settings UI will eventually simply autosave, and not require you to actually hit Save.

yeah that is very nice to know, slightly faster than tabbing between the settings and clicking, but would be nice to have a shortcut just to quickly open colour scheme-- maybe ctrl+alt+shift+c to open that menu with the dropdown. is there a way to set up shortcuts like that at the moment?

You know, there's been discussion in the past about allowing people to bind keys to a nested action, that would open the palette to the entries listed below it, but I'm not seeing that tracked anywhere officially. Congratulations, this is now that thread.
