A Hot Key to start a specific COUNTDOWN

We use a countdown every week and find the navigating required to start it quite long and fiddley. Yes, there is a hotkey to open the countdown box, but you cant access the 'start' and 'close' without some scrolling to make it visible. We use a stream deck to operate most of the work, and it would be great to start our 'service start' countdown with a simple hotkey. If there could be a way in settings to assign a selected countdown to a hotkey that would start it that would be great. Thank you for your consideration in this.

P.s. if it is not something that is possible - I'm no programmer! - could you relocate the 'start' and 'close' box, so it is quicker to start a countdown manually, without having to scroll them into view? Thanks again.
