Key Commands for Lock/Unlock etc? Elgato Stream Deck?

I was looking for a way to assign key shortcuts to commands from the toolbar like Lock patcher or Presentation Mode etc. I was looking for adding further key commands and also to make commands in Max available in my Elgato Stream Deck device.

I found the Toolbox package, but this can only provide key commands to add objects to a patch and align or connect them in various ways. This is brilliant and I am happy I found it! But it cannot help me with the toolbar commands.

Is there a way to create additional key shortcuts in Max? Or is there another way to make them available to the Stream Deck app?

Thank you very much! That was what I was looking for regarding key commands.

I have one more question regarding this: I found out how to modify and create all sorts of key shortcuts involving modifier keys. Every key command in the file involves the command key (I am on Mac). For example:

{
"message" : "newjpatcher",
"label" : "New Patcher",
"navkey" : "P",
"target" : "max",
"shortcut" : "N"
},


This clearly is the key command "command + N" and all others I understood are the same. What if I want to create a key command without a modifier key?
