Labelles for Labels colour

[omimet at free.fr]

The most should be the best with (!), by example : 
 1.concatenate the 2 strings in the action name (with delimiter like #/~) 
 2.push the relevant string as a comment box displayed when mouse is on each action
 3.others...
But I've no idea of the difficulties for you and, by another way, change a shortcut is not so often...
Best regards
OM
