Hi hauptmech,

I am just now reading this thread and your previous one about the hotkeys.
I agree that there should not be hard-coded hotkeys!
In fact, this patch did not add the hotkeys, it was just moving code around
that already existed.   I'm fine with looking in to moving the hotkeys out
of the code, but I have to advise that it might be a while -- I am about to
go on vacation (with no computer access) until July 10th.  So if you or
anyone else wants to look at it sooner, go for it!  Otherwise, I guess me
or Orson or someone else will do it eventually.

-Jon
