Feature Request: Change the default Roll Condition applied when spawning in dice

I have a custom die (label "mydie") mapped to a hotkey (let's say 'm'). When I press that hotkey N times, N of the dice will be rolled and the expression defaults to summing them together. I want it to instead apply NmydieKL.

I can imagine different ways of exposing this. For example:

  1. Allow roll conditions to be mapped to hotkeys. So if I map the 'L' key to "Keep Lowest", and if I map the 'm' key to "mydie", then I could press m-m-m-L to roll 3mydieKL
  2. Allow custom dice to be given  default Roll Conditions. So if I set up 'mydie' with the default Roll Condition of "KL", then if I press m-m-m the app will automatically evaluate 3mydieKL.
  3. Probably other ways of doing it

Alternatively, finishing the “Roll-time variables” feature described in the 1.5 changelog would probably meet my needs. Then I could just set up a saved expression like ~N~mydieKL. But (1) or (2) would be so much more fun! There's something satisfying about pressing a key three times to roll three dice.

Anyways, thanks for this excellent app!
