Description

Let say i have to hotkeys:

  • shift+c
  • shift+c,t

Today, both handlers are executed when i press shift+c,t

It can be usefull to add a timeout after shift+c to check if there is not another key that is coming.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current key combination detection logic and implement a timeout mechanism that waits for additional key presses before executing the action, similar to a debounce for key sequences.
