Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, it's my daily driver for everything. I heavily use an extension called Vimium C for browser navigation. Many popular add-ons have keyboard shortcuts for doing frequent actions.

Describe the solution you'd like
Here's how toggling would work:

I switch between Select & Upload and Upload a lot, many times a day. Switching between modes (Select, Select & Upload, Upload, etc.) can be a long process where you need to click the toolbar button button, click mode change button, select a mode from the list, then click the search engine you want to search with.

In addition to the keyboard shortcut for activating the panel, I'm suggesting shortcuts for changing the modes too.

For example, if I set a keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F1 for Select mode:

  1. It would open the panel
  2. Change mode to Select
  3. User selects a search engine as usual

The steps would be same for other modes.

Here's an example screenshot of keyboard shortcuts for Search by Image:

Thanks for the detailed feature request! This will likely be implemented without setting default shortcuts.

The current plan is to have a list of generic shortcut names in the browser's shortcut page for the extension, such as "Shortcut 1", "Shortcut 2" and so on, so you can assign a keyboard shortcut to them. The actions then could be configured in the extension's options. For example, you could select "Shortcut 1" to open an image in a new tab, "Shortcut 2" to share an image, and "Shortcut 3" to search on Bing and Google with the Capture search mode.

This way we won't have to list all the possible actions and search engine combinations on the shortcut page, and you can just define a keyboard shortcut, then configure the desired action from the extension's options.
