2 letter mapkey not work when first leter is same

Question

Hi,
 
i record some mapkey for measurement tool.
mapkey m @MAPKEY_LABELMeasure summary;~ Command `ProCmdNmdTool` 1;mapkey ml @MAPKEY_LABELmeasure length;~ Command `ProCmdNaMeasureLength`;mapkey md @MAPKEY_LABELmeasure distance;~ Command `ProCmdNaMeasureDistance`;mapkey mc @MAPKEY_LABELmeasure cycle;~ Command `ProCmdNaMeasureDiameter`;mapkey ma @MAPKEY_LABELmeasure area;~ Command `ProCmdNaMeasureArea`;mapkey mv @MAPKEY_LABELmeasure volume;~ Command `ProCmdNaMeasureVolume`;
 
m works fine, it can acticated anytime.
But when i use ml, or md, the comand always goes to m.
Looks like two letters doesn't work.

Two letter mapkeys work fine.Your problem is that when you press the M it triggers the single letter 'm' mapkey every time.Rename your mapkeys!This is not a new problem, it has always been there.

Hi,

The issue here is that you have a mapkey "m". One letter mapkeys are normally frowned upon because they are prone to breaking other mapkeys. In your case, any mapkey that starts with the letter m will be broken by your single character mapkey. The m mapkey will always run before you type the second character.

We try to make all of our mapkey sequences at least 3 characters for this reason.
