[Feature Request] On-screen selection menu to choose which shortcut to use #49

I seen such feature across other similar apps. My idea is as follows and it comes from the other suggestion I shared a moment ago about the ability to group shortcuts in folders - you group couple shortcuts in a folder and have a hotkey assigned on the folder itself, thus when you press the given, a context menu comes on the screen next to your cursor and lets you pick with the mouse the shortcut you want to execute.

PROS

Makes it possible to use one hotkey for multiple shortcuts, especially helpful for pasting different lines of text such as URLs, credentials

It's an interesting idea that actually does not depend on folders. Clavier+ would simply allow duplicate (or overlapping) hotkeys across shortcuts. When the user presses such a hotkey, Clavier+ would show all associated shortcuts in a menu -- no folders involved. It does raise design questions with existing features such as "merge configuration with", which overwrites shortcuts to avoid duplicate hotkeys.
