Description

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).

Research direction

Start by tracing how button shortcuts are assigned and how Duplicate Filter and Archive/Delete filter handle left-click and right-click actions. Determine how the current single-action restriction removes a newly added shortcut. Done means multiple actions can remain mapped to the same button and execute as expected without breaking existing shortcut behavior.
