Remarks
The main advantage of this command over the standard functionality of Total Commander hotkeys is that the set shortcuts also work from the command line, and not just in panels. Also, it becomes possible to simply call the menu using ShowPopupMenu.
If the called command has a calculated string, then when the command is written, it will be executed every time the command is run. It is impossible to achieve the same result in functional notation directly, but you can use an additional user-defined function as an interlayer, in which the necessary command will be called.
