It would be great if there were an additional 100+ "dummy" keys(keys that don't actually exist on the keyboard) in the shortcuts for setting up advanced shortcuts with multiple actions on a single press.
Right now I have been using F13-F24 as they don't exist on my keyboard as "dummy" keys that are set to actions that I will only ever use when tied to other actions.

Example: I have made a shortcut for pressing Q to increase the score by 1 for the home team on my scorebug, however I also have a lower third title for halftime & game end that shows the score, for this title I have set the home score to increase by 1 when F16 is pressed. I don't use this F16 shortcut, instead In the advanced shortcut for Q I have set it to also trigger F16, that way the score updates simultaneously on both graphics. I have set up a few of these kind of advanced shortcuts but I have already used up all of the F13-F24 keys and am in need for more "dummy" keys.

Very useful idea. We are also in deep trouble at this point sometimes and run "out of shortcuts" in our sports productions. Especially with the new instant replay feature there are plenty of possibilities to trigger few actions with one press of a button. But due to limited number of buttons we are unable to use it.

To link a shortcut directly with other functions would be much better, instead of linking shortcuts with shortcuts.
