Reduce friction by supporting 2-step keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D in Visual Studio) #714
Description
Really loving raddbg. It’s an awesome debugger, thank you for your work.
One thing I miss from other tools is 2-step shortcuts (key chords), where you press one combo and then another to run a single action. Example: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D in Visual Studio.
This would help a lot because many people already have muscle memory for these. Without it, you end up relearning shortcuts per app, which is annoying and adds friction. It’s also not really feasible to “just remap Visual Studio to single-key shortcuts” to match raddbg, because so many shortcuts overlap. Changing one often forces you to change a bunch of others too, and it turns into a mess.
Chords are also easier to remember in bulk because they’re grouped. For example, Ctrl+K can be a “format” prefix, so Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D = format Document and Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S = format Selection.
Adoption angle: supporting chords would make it much easier to bring over existing shortcut setups from VS/other editors, reduce relearning, and I think more people would try raddbg and stick with it because it “fits” their existing workflow.
Suggestion: allow binding sequences like Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D to a command/action (configurable like other keybinds).
Thank you for your support!
