Multiple actions on the same shortcut

[ghost]

Currently, when assigning an action to a button, only one can be mapped. If one tries to bypass this limit by adding yet another shortcut to the same button with a different action, Hydrus spergs out and removes the newly added shortcut.

For example, since Duplicate Filter is a quality check (for my workflow at least), I want to add "archive file" to the action of "left click" and "right click", in order to archive those files which are not being deleted (that's mapped to another shortcut).

Would be great if this was possible, since it would also save time in Archive/Delete filter (same issue).

For keyboard shortcuts implemented with QShortcut, this can be done with https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qshortcut.html#activatedAmbiguously

Maybe we want a multi action shortcut feature for this, instead of asking the client to blindly accept overlapping shortcuts. Though either way I think Hydrus should be informing users that they've tried to use a key that is already mapped, and what that other mapping is.

My reasoning is that intentionally doing two or more things with one key should be supported. But it would be beneficial to make it a little harder for users to unintentionally map two actions to a key.

Could always lock it behind advanced mode.

[Mengmoshu]

What would that even mean? With advanced mode off it just does what it does now?

[ghost]

You're the one scared of scenarios in which the user doesn't think about his shortcuts for longer than two seconds.

So yes, if you activate advanced mode, you have the new multikey/multishortcut feature and it's all on you. If you don't, you have the current system.

[Mengmoshu]

Just to clarify, you're suggesting that Advanced Mode silently allow two shortcuts with the same keypress. Which sounds like a fairly workable minimum effort feature. I don't have a problem with that.

I'd still like a version that is more explicitly support for multiple actions on a single shortcut, and which has clear enough UI that Normal Mode users can also be expected to use it.

On a side note, this isn't the Discord, and personal attacks like "you're the one scared of" don't fit the expected tone very well.

[ghost]

I mean, you're the one who's bringing in hypothetical cases based on previous experiences with users that did not read the docs or just don't read anything they do.

I do not mind the feature being behind advanced mode or not. I just want to be able to use two actions with the same keypress.

i too would like this feature if for no other reason to do my own sort of filtering. example: one key to both add a tag and then go to the next image. sort of how the duplicate processing already lets you do an action and then it goes to the next image

Cough #262 cough
Both features would be desired but for the purpose of filtering I'd prefer an extension of the existing filter system to let us do more stuff with it.

@Mengmoshu That would be wonderful.
Particularly chaining multiple commands in a specific order off one shortcut.

#472 is another option to this part. Otherwise very much yes to the rest.
