I'm not going to raise a big fuss about this change.  Just wanted to  
identify why this wasn't implemented before (since it is such a  
trivial implement).

Configuration is good, but not for hot-keys IMHO.  Way too much  
overhead in an application like DIMP for something that such a small  
percentage of users would actually use.
