Apparently this is open to misinterpretation... What I should have
spelt out more clearly is that the default hotkey operation after this
change would be to open the quickscreen. Anyone who doesnt use the
hotkey feature wouldnt even know this change happened.

There is a slight downside though that you couldnt have the
quickscreen and hotkey functions, although on targets where the hotkey
is on a useless combo anyway this is no big deal, and it could be
easily fixed by swapping the combos around (so by default hotkey and
quickscreen would both open the quickscreen).
