Describe the solution you'd like?

I need this as I want to map cmd+shift+f to directly entering a command, in my case it's

git ls-files | zf

Using zf command.

I can hack something like this in external app like KM.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want ability to map hotkey to entering command, however long directly. To avoid typing or automating typing.

This will speed up my workflow a lot. Especially if you use Karabiner to rebind keys.
