Hi halmi,

The first part is possible using this for the shortcut key:

script: moi.command.execCommandSet( 'lines' );

The different command sets are:

arcs, arrays, booleans, boxes, circles, constructCurve, deform, ellipses, fillets, freeform, lines, moredrawcurves, offsets, orients, planes, polygons, rectangles, revolves, rotations, scalings

There isn't anything set up for the 2nd part of using the arrow keys like that currently.

I have some ideas for multi key sequences (like 'bd' for boolean difference) that I'd like to work on in the future though.

MoI was actually designed to be usable without needing to constantly use the keyboard. So adding in shortcut keys for everything like you've done doesn't really fit in with the overall main focus of the program's entire UI design, currently at least.

I'd recommend to remove most of your shortcuts that you can't remember anyway and only keep those for things that you use most frequently. That's how it is intended to be used.
