Possible to group external tools with same shortcut?

I'm adding some external tool scripts, and assign them custom shortcuts, this all works well. But I'm starting to run out of key combo's, is it possible to have phpstorm throw up a little dialog where you can choose from your external tools? I gave the external tools menu itself a shortcut, but then it shows a floating menu with just a single script in it. Giving all the scripts the same shortcut also does not work.

I think this'd be a nice feature?

Hi there,

Have a look at Quick Lists: “Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Quick Lists”

  • Make a list by adding whatever actions (and separators) you want
  • When done – assign a shortcut to that list on Keymap screen (it has a dedicated node for them)

Once you have that: when you invoke that shorcut, a popup menu will appear with all/appropriate actions.

Another option is to use “2 step shortcut” (or whatever the proper name is):

  1. Have a shortcut (for example: Ctrl+K)
  2. + also use "Second stroke" (for example: T)

Now to invoke that action, you have to press Ctrl+K and then T.
