Custom keyboard Accelerator abbreviations for all menu items

[Evgeny]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently it's a bit inefficient to pick a specific profile/option from the context menu since you have to look at it and select via a mouse

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow custom accelerators so you could open and execute a profile via a sequence of , for example, CtrlA,G1 (activate extension, open a Group, select 1Profile just like you can right-click the extension button and press O to open options)

Currently the first shortcut doesn't open the extension menu, but launches a page saving operation instead, but that's another feature request #1419

Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)
Using cursor keys :)

Additional context (optional)
N/a

As discussed in entry #1419, there is no technical way of associating a menu entry with a shortcut. However, I need to see if it would be possible to associate one (or more) for each profile.

[Evgeny]

Well, the mouse (and extension button) context menu subitems can have accelerators, just checked by editing

	"menuSaveWithProfile": {
		"message": "&U Save page with profile",
		"description": "Menu entry: 'Save with profile'"
	},

And this works

That's already progress as that makes the selection within the menu easier

But then

• is this user-configurable or only editable via the messages.json
• is there a way to add an accelerator to the extension item itself? So that (at least to the page context menu) it's &SingleFile
  • I've found that editing the name in the manifest.json works!!! Which is great, I'll do that locally, and since you can use external tool to open this context menu via a shortcut I can achieve the full chording experience!!!
• again, is the ↑ user configurable or only editable via the manifest?

(and I can add &profile_name to even have accelerators working with dynamic profile selection menu!)

Thank you very much for the info, I was not aware of this feature. I'll do some tests and keep you updated.

[Gildas]

I guess I'm missing something here, I tested your messages.json file. However, this does not seem to work as expected. On my machine (macOS/Apple Silicon), if I type for example & and d when the first item is selected in the SingleFile menu then it does not select the "Save selection" entry. I did the test in Firefox and Chrome.

[Evgeny]

Yeah, macOS doesn't support the & convention by default (though interestingly enough, the & sign isn't shown, so there is some awareness? ).

I don't know how whether there is a workaround/alternative for this (and don't understand why browsers don't support this)
