Key Combinations For Measurement Tool

I'm a big fan of the changes to measurement tool. the ability to quickly do squares and circles without templates is awesome.  I would love to have the ability to change the settings of it by key combination.  Like for example if I want to do a square I need to change shape to square > set grid to corner > set measure origin to corner. I propose that I could change my tool to measure and my shape to square with "Q S" > "Q C" to set grid alignment to corner > set origin to corner, edge or center with "Q Z" "Q X" or "Q S" (keys obviously not set in stone) than press "Q L" to toggle Linger on or off. This would be even better potentially if roll20 could handle key combinations more than two characters long but I only see examples of 1 -2 keys so I could do Q to choose measure "L" "S" "O" "C" "B" for line square circle corner beam, "W" "E" "R" for grid alignment to center, corner or no snapping and so on I haven't given a lot of thought to the layout of keys because if this were implemented I would simply make AHK scripts for a couple presets I use often.
