And yes the Shortcut Manager uses an alphabetic sort of descriptor names. Not a numeric. The shortcut master table is stored in settings ini files. They have a fixed set of descriptor keys. There are over 150 right now. Given how many plugins people use and change, using plugin names that change would mean the static set of known descriptor values would no longer be static meaning that the shortcuts ini file would need to change and adapt to whatever plugins you have now and to any plugins changes you make. My allotting 10 shortcuts, and allowing you to determine which 10 and in what order, keeps it all static and simpler.

There are just not enough possible short cut keys to handle all of the inputs, menus, buttons, tools, etc in Sigil. So allowing the user to manage and assign their own subset based on what they think are important to their productivity is what we are trying to achieve. Turning off alot of toolbars could limit you. That said, you can grow the icon sizes in Preferences to make them easier to see and select. You can use menus accessed by system shortcuts and accelerator keys to navigate them, etc.

After that you will have to explore what your system Accessibility settings for full keyboard navigation can do. Qt seems to support many of them on macOS.
