Description
Description
Right now, the only way to bind an action to hotkey combo is via the "Hotkey enable" key. This has one major issue:
It's not possible to use single button hotkeys and combo hotkeys simultaneously. If I set up the "Hotkey enable" key to RCtrl and the "Fast forward" key to Left Arrow, I will no longer be able to open up quick menu just by pressing F1.
Expected behavior
It wold be better to get rid of the "Hotkey enable" key altogether and let the user freely bind any single key or key combo to any action he pleases.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing “Hotkey enable” handling and determine how single-key and combo bindings currently interact. Done means users can bind single keys and combinations independently without a dedicated enable key, with coverage for the reported F1, RCtrl, and Left Arrow scenario.
