Why? Did you need to change some setting you couldn't find anywhere? 
Why is looking through the relevant menu (view for view-related, 
behavior for most edit-related etc.) so big a problem?  I don't see 
that it is.   IMHO of course.

So you think that people will actually be _annoyed_ by this?...  I 
should hope it takes more to annoy people... the advantage of this is 
that there are hot keys for most things that you then can change 
quickly, without venturing into a prefs window.
