Multiple hotkeys for the same menu

The Proposal

Add multiple triggers for one menu -- I.e. triggering the same menu from ctrl+space and alt+home or something like that

[Schneegans]

Thank you for the idea! Can you describe a situation where this would be helpful? I think it would make the user interface of the settings dialog more cluttered than it is now. I am not sure if that is something many people would require...

As a workaround, you could open your global shortcuts (Super + Type Shortcuts) and add a new one which executes something like

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/shell/extensions/flypie --method org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.flypie.ShowMenu 'Main Menu'

Just replace Main Menu with your menu's name! What do you think?

That would probably work... I'm thinking for people who have multiple workflows, where sometimes their hands are on the home row, sometimes wasd + mouse, and sometimes hand-over-numpad, it might be nice to have a different set of keys launch the same menu. Hotkeys definitely work, but to cut down on clutter in the main interface you could just have a + button on the right directly below the bind block that would allow someone to add additional blocks

[Schneegans]

The idea with the + button is actually quite good. I will not implement this right away (there is other stuff to be done) but leave this open for reference. If anyone is interested to implement this - just leave a note here and go ahead!

I think that this will not be implemented into Fly-Pie. This is mostly because I am currently focusing on the successor project Kando and the workaround mentioned above could be sufficient for most use-cases.
