'new anim layer' shortcut??

[Sewie]

hi Sewie,
to answer to your first question (in the title) :
in the configure shortkeys panel, create a combined shortkey :
Layer: New + Layer: Make Anim, ... then OK, Save, that's all.

note: to add a second command (and more if needed),
- select the shortkey left-side,
- select the command to add in the right-side list,
- then press and hold the Ctrl key and click "Assign".

That's fantastic! I never knew it was possible to create combined shortcut keys.
Thanks, Zig!
