[REQ] Enter Hotkey directly into text field (e.g. typing out "LeftAlt+A") #674

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am trying to make an earbud touchpad custom action to toggle Zoom's microphone mute/unmute. The keyboard shortcut for this is Alt+A. It appears necessary to hold Alt and then tap A; doing the reverse does not work. When I try to record a custom hotkey in the Galaxy Buds Manager, it can record A+LeftAlt (i.e. holding A then tapping Alt), but when I try to hold Alt and tap A, it only records the LeftAlt press.

Describe the solution you'd like
As an additional option to recording the keypress combination, I would like to be able to manually type in "LeftAlt+A" to represent the keypresses. It would be the user's responsibility to make sure they are typing in a valid keypress.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
The custom hotkey entry screen shows a warning that it can only send hotkeys to apps with lower permission levels than it, so I tried running Galaxy Buds Manager as administrator, but it still didn't work to control Zoom. I really think the issue is that Zoom only accepts Alt+A, and this app can for some reason only record A+Alt.
