Hi Dave
I am in a bit of a hurry now, but tin the GIMP there are 2 ways of
assigining shortcuts to any desired action
.
Please, click in <Toolbox>->File->Prefrences and interface and read
the instructions on "Dynamic Keyboard shortcuts" or just go from
there to a shortcut assignment interface.
Also, you should consider makig a script - either in script-fu or
gium-fu to repeat this sequence - it is actually easy, if you see
some ofthe .py and .scm files taht come with the GIMP, and check the
Procedure Database in <Toolbox>->Xtns->PDB Browser
