You can't do this. A key binding is always bound to a single command.

If you want to do things in a sequence use a Wizard with multiple pages or something like that.

Using a cheat sheet to guide the user through the actions might be another way.

I don't understand what you mean. Added a note about cheats sheets which are a way to guide user's through multiple actions. – greg-449 Jan 31 '17 at 11:43

I have do it but different way. Whole toolbar item is passed via handler. I can share you code:

Forward Editor code:

package handler;
