Nope — ⌥ is the “standard” way to reveal alternate  
functionality, but I was afraid users wouldn’t notice it, so I also  
made it trigger om ⇧, thinking they’d use that key occasionally  
when entering text in the fields.

Of course a lot of users do not notice it, yet many seek this  
function, so it’s not a good design.
