Direct Hotkeys

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Often frustrated when I must repeatedly repeat activation key for actions that are not either covered by their own hotkeys - it adds a frustrating cumulative delay. Primary example is when trying to traverse more than 2 windows/panels visually ( ie when I feel inclined to traverse windows via arrow keys vs alt-tabbing to a known window instead )

Describe the solution you’d like I wish I could quickly just press < hotkey modifier > + LeftArrow 3 times, instead of < activation key >, wait slightly, LeftArrow 3 times.

This would entail, either per-action, custom “direct” hotkeys, for which an prior-pressed activation key is not required, or an entirely different opt-in hotkey model, that eschews the chorded activation approach altogether in lieu of traditional keyboard shortcuts. Another approach may be that certain actions, like window traversal ( actions involving direction keys for example ) support direct hotkeys whilst others do not, at your discretion.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Being more patient and less speed-oriented.

Reframing how I conceive of window traversal in my head to application/window-based instead of visually/spatially, thus reaching for alt-tab instead of fancywm arrow key shortcuts.
