How to bind multiple commands to one key with mpv

Question

Is it possible to show the commands show-text ${media-title}, show-progress and show-text ${playlist} on separate lines each with a single key bind? If i enter MENU show-text "${media-title} ${duration}" in the input.conf file, it will show both commands, but when i enter MENU show-progress; show-text "${media-title}" for example it will not show the first command. Also this command ENTER cycle pause; show-progress, only shows the progress info on play from a paused state, not when the video is paused.

The async and sync prefix matter only for how the issuer of the command waits on the completion of the command. Normally it does not affect how the command behaves by itself. There are the following cases:

• Normal input.conf commands are always run asynchronously. Slow running commands are queued up or run in parallel.
• "Multi" input.conf commands (1 key binding, concatenated with ;) will be executed in order, except for commands that are async (either prefixed with async, or async by default for some commands). The async commands are run in a detached manner, possibly in parallel to the remaining sync commands in the list.
