Hotkeys & Sticky Keys: You may define a hotkey to almost any tool/action that you may perform via UI. To define a hotkey, hover your cursor over the required tool/action and press the “END” key. Then press the required keys combination. Keys can be specified for the current room or even a tool.

One key may be assigned to multiple actions or tools simultaneously (called “Stacked Keys”).

Stacked Keys allow you to cycle through multiple tools with a single hotkey.

If you defined a single action, tool or preset to a key, then you can use Sticky Keys. Pressing the key will activate tool and if you continue to hold it then release, it will activate the previous tool. In such a way you may temporarily activate some tool like freeze for example.
With Sticky Keys, if you activate tool via hotkey and press the assigned key again, it will re-activate the previously used tool.

On Preferences > General you can turn OFF sticky keys.

Sticky keys does not work with Stacked Keys.
