Hi,

I'm wondering why is currently impossible to have multiple shortcuts for a WM action (say, cycle_windows_key)? 

- Via Settings -> Window Manager -> Keyboard there's no option to add a new shortcut for a specific action, one can only overwrite the previous shortcut set;
- Both via Settings Editor or changing manually the file `~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml`, this can't be done as well. In the former the UI will overwrite the previous action and in the later only the last entry of one action will be used.

I wanted to know if this is intended to be like that or that feature is lacking?

If the later, my proposal would be at least to have that feature working in the advanced mode (Settings Editor/file editing). Is that feasible?

I'm willing to work on that if possible, but I need to say that I'm not familiar with XFCE codebase/workflow, so I'll need some mentoring on that.

Thanks.

luks.
