Description

Would be a useful feature to have hotkey sequences in addition to combos. Ex: dd in vim to delete.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current hotkey implementation in the Blueprint library and design a system to detect key sequences (e.g., 'dd' similar to Vim). Consider using a key buffer with timeout and state management.
