Ability to Defined a key stroke with the ComboKey

[Todd1215]

I see Alt launcher can read the Combo Keys but I am not able to define a key stroke along with the combo-key. How do we do that in Alt Launcher?

If you have the CommandsSetKeyCombo callback already mapped to the desired prefix key (I think [alt+C] is the only such prefix mapped by default, in BMS-Full.key) there is an obscure UX for defining new keycombo bindings. It is very unintuitive and undiscoverable .. iirc it involves using the dx-shift button to type the prefix key before the actual key? Something like that.

Agree this is a gap that needs to be covered -- AL needs some way to define new keycombo prefixes, and a more intuitive/discoverable way to define new bindings.

Today, it requires hand-editing BMS-Auto.key .. I use [alt+N] and [alt+M] followed by (1-0/A-J) as keycombos for all the MFD buttons -- here's those blocks from my key file, if it helps anyone to have an additional example.
