The tools in the new toolbar (2.8X) totally conflict with the hotkeys of the Mesh mode. #73775

For example, I'd already set a hotkey "Shift + C + Tweak-Left-East" for Connect Vertex Pairs. But while the Select Box tool (new toolbar) was active, my hotkey for Connect Vertex Pairs wouldn't work at all. It seems like the input priority of Select Box tool is too high, and Blender doesn't take account of the modifier key "C" at all when an input conflict exists. If I disabled the "Shift select mode" hotkey of Select Box, my hotkey would work again. I used heavily these "Shift/Ctrl/Alt + C (any modifier key) + Tweak-Left-Any" style hotkeys in my workflow, so the input conflict of new tool bar can be a big problem to me. I think this can be easily fixed if you change the input priority of the new tool bar.

I'd done a quick experiment adding my hotkey on top of the "Shift select mode" hotkey of Select Box. My hotkey can work properly too. But it's not an elegant solution.

You're creating a hotkey in the toolbar section. Add your hotkey in 3D View > Mesh > Mesh (Global) and it will work as you expected.

It doesn't work at all, that's why I reported this bug.
So I just added the hotkey in the toolbar section for experiment purpose, and I indicated the only working case in the picture I posted.

Please follow our submission template and guidelines, also read these tips about bug reports, to make a complete, valid bug report, with required info, precise description of the issue, precise steps to reproduce it, small and simple .blend and/or other files to do so if needed, etc.
Also explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTD0OJq_rF4

It is not practical for us to try to identify a problem if each reporter decides to make their own layout to describe a bug.

If the problem persists please open a new report with the required information.
