Some crazy idea:

Detect the shortcut being pressed and then start a timer, if the user  
releases the shortcut before the timer triggers, then the user wants to  
use the previous selection (in this case the private section for example)  
and then no dialog is needed, if there is no previous selection or the  
timer triggers then show the dialog. The timer interval would need to be a  
setting so it can be adjusted by the end user. :)
