How to assign a keyboard shortcut or accesskey for adding a todo?

[Whyglobaleyes]

Hello,

First off thank you. The plugin is a daily staple and essential for me - like millions of others I'm sure.

I'd like to be able to use some sort of short key sequence instead of using the mouse to click on the toolbar button or typing out <todo> </todo> when I want to add tasks. I've tried using entities.local.conf but not had any success. Could anyone tell me if there's any way to do this please? I posted the same Q, with some probably irrelevant detail, https://forum.dokuwiki.org/d/20579-new-or-custom-accesskey-to-mark-a-todo-task.

The other thing is that I often write out lists of todo's. I usually create them as an unordered list. I'd like the <todo> </todo> tags to appear on the newline the same way that the list marker asterix is automatically generated. Is that already possible or is there some way I can achieve that please?

I should say that I'm not a programmer and though I'd love to test out scripts/ work arounds, I can't do anything but the simplest of cut&paste editing of scripts. thanks in advance
