Link Triggers To Photoshop Tool Selection?

Question

Is it possible to link triggers to Photoshop tool selections? I presently don't know Character Animator, but I have a CC account. I watched a couple videos on triggers and can't figure out can the key triggers work if you have photoshop open? So if I used 'S' to select the 'Clone Stamp' could I trigger an icon or animation to appear elsewhere on the screen? What about if I just clicked the stamp tool with my cursor, can that be a trigger too?

I'm willing to learn this software if that is achievable, so your answers will could help me save a lot of time. Thanks in advance!

I think what ever program has the focus is going to respond to the triggers exclusively. It sounds like you want to have a character animator puppet walk through Photoshop techniques? Perhaps the best way to do that is to record your Photoshop video, use the sound track to determine what actions your puppet will be doing, and then combine the two in After Effects. There are some good video tutorials on how to do that.
