I've been reading this thread with interest over the last few days and
couldn't resist having the final say. I'm working on a fully configurable
F2 menu patch that will allow exactly the type of behaviour discussed.

I also plan to extend the use of this menu to allow setting of options. For
example, if you want to set the volume to 75% you'll be able to do that
immediately. If you want to run a particular plug-in, you'll be able to do
that too. You will be able to add and delete menu items on the fly. I have
to get Linus and Björn to agree to these proposals first :-)

And yes Jörg, I have been able to keep the quick screen functionality at the
same time. It is too good to lose.

Context sensitive F3 ? I'm laying the foundations for that, but it isn't as
easy and may not be easy configured on the fly.

Watch this space..
