Ext shortcuts: automatic alternatives

[gene-pavlovsky]

Is it necessary to enter alternatives like "Ctrl-E Q; Ctrl-E Ctrl-Q"? In my opinion, configuring a shortcut as Ctrl-E Q should support both Ctrl-E Q and Ctrl-E Ctrl-Q automatically. It is the case with Visual Studio

Visual Studio behaves the same way as mine. The default shortcut file having the two combinations was to match with VS. For example, (in VS) Edit.CommentSelection has both Ctrl+E, C and Ctrl+E, Ctrl+C assigned. If you remove one, only the other will work.

Although it kind of makes the shortcut dialog look a bit messy, making Ctrl+E, C also match Ctrl+E, Ctrl+C will really complicate the code, and also potentially prevent users who want to differentiate the two from doing so.

• If pressing Ctrl+E, Ctrl+C triggers Ctrl+E, C, should Ctrl+E, Ctrl+Shift+C trigger Ctrl+E, Shift+C too? What about pressing Ctrl+E, Shift+C - should it trigger Ctrl+E, Ctrl+Shift+C?
• Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E, C will really be tricky. It will potentially match C, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Alt+C, etc.

Ok, I've checked VS again and it seems I was wrong. I missed the combo box with multiple hotkeys. I agree that it might get too complicated and un-intuitive if following my suggestions.
