Button for "Automatic Crop PLUS Enter"

I made a menu button for "Automatic Crop / Alt+Y", but then it displays always a dialogue for colour selection. Here I have to press OK.

How to create a button with "Alt+Y PLUS Enter"?

I think the way to go here is creating a variation of the existing short cut 'Alt + Y'.

Such a variation could be either:
* Ctrl+Alt+Y
* Alt+Shift+Y
* Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Y

A - Apply effect/filter without showing dialog
Using/Applying the same effect/filter repeatively without displaying the appropriate dialog might be a common use case. Perhaps this "technique" of providing an extra shortcut could be applied to all filters/effects. In this case, shortcut combination must be used that does not clash with any other shortcuts.

B - Repeat last effect/filter
Alternatively, there might be a menu item "Image > Repeat <name of filter/effect>" and one single key combination which repeats the last effect/filter used. This would be a both simple and flexible solution.
