[texworks] shortcuts with multiple letters

[Z Br]

Thanks Alain!

Unfortunately I am not much of a programmer and so I am unsure how to
modify the script you posted to get the action I had asked about. Could you
give a bit more direction, or if someone else knows if this is possible
with the short cuts file that would be great too.
