From time to time, after pressing a hotkey button corresponding to an action (eg. V for "Set handle type" in edit Bezier curve mode), I get to choose from multiple options, but they all have the same hotkey assigned to them:
How do I tell Blender which option to choose with just the keyboard? Is there a way to tell "always choose this one (eg. Toggle) until I choose something else (without going to preferences and changing the binding).
Open User preferences → Keymap. You can find key-building by key name or navigate to 3D-view → Curve → Curve Global.
Expand Set Handle Type and select type that you want:
If you want to add a new hot-key, copy-paste the name of the operator from the text field in the new keymap item: curve.handle_type_set
V V as it's already chosen by "Vector": do you know if there's a way to change these second-order keybinds? Ideally, I would like the behavior to be like this: V opens the popup and another V repeats the previous operation, and there are other letters (or click) to choose others.

I just learned that the underline in the text of the hotkey defines the second hotkey to choose the option, so, e.g. V V corresponds to Vector, V T to Toogle, etc.
I still don't know how to change it, though.
