Yes, but what Birger was saying was hitting Ctrl+Tab 9-10 times to get
to the option. This is much faster than that alternative.
My aim was to let people know what options already exist before
proposing new ones.

Don't get me wrong. I am not against having a dedicated hotkey for
toggling amends. I think it is a common enough operation to warrant a
dedicated keyboard toggle. I was just letting everyone know what the
current options are, so they can make better judgements whether they
really need this option or not.
