Any tricks how to make menu shortcuts like: Ctrl+W, E

[Jan]

Hi,

I would like to have a View menu like the one in VS(2005), where I can have
"two-key" shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+W followed by E or Ctrl+E).

Any suggestions how to do that?

Thanks, Jan

I haven't seen any built-in support for something like that. So you would
most likely have to handle the key presses yourself, in whatever
control/form is relevant for the input. Upon receiving the first key
press, you'll have to set some state (presumably also displaying some
status to the user, such as changing text in a status bar or something)
and then upon receiving the second key press, if that state is set, handle
the key press as the completion for the command.
