I would like to set up a hotkey for TC5 (LVN) [see attached]. I understand that by default, a hotkey for any drawing tool is for TC1. This time I want a hotkey for TC5.

There is not a built-in way to have a Keyboard Shortcut that selects both a drawing tool and the configuration. This can be done with a Control Bar button - refer to the following:
Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step

You can setup a Keyboard Shortcut to select a specific tool configuration, but you would first need to have the tool you want selected, then when you select a particular tool configuration, it will be for that tool. These items are under the Keyboard Shortcuts in "Tools >> Current Tool Config". So you could use two keyboard shortcuts to get what you want.

Note that the default selected configuration is whatever configuration was last used for that tool - it is not TC1. So if TC5 was last selected for that tool, then it will be what is used for the following times that drawing tool is used, until the selected configuration is changed.
