Feature Request: Key Chaining

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think it would be nice if Autokey supported something like Openbox's Key 
Chains: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_chains

People could then add hotkeys which would only be available if a certain 
combination was pressed before.

This sounds very similar to the request in issue 70. Please have a look and 
confirm.

I've never user AutoHotKey, so I'm not very sure what the behaviour of KeyWait 
is.
However, it seems to me that KeyWait keeps a certain key pressed (like Shift 
and allows you to press the arrow keys as if shift was down).

Key chaining is different: it allows use to do something like this:

<Super>+m ; activates the "music" keychain
z, x, c, v, b, m ; each of these would then be captured for use with a media 
player, for example
<Esc>   ; deactivate the chain

Using Keywait we would have to be able to specify hotkeys like <Super>+m+z 
(which I don't think is possible).

This request is substantially alien to the way AutoKey works internally, and 
won't be done any time soon.
