Well you can't make it a hotkey likeR-Amiga G, but you can set it to one 
of the funtion keys if you have one to spare. This is done in prefrences 
by selecting Funtion Keys then the editor you want, and then select the 
key to change and go up to the menu and select what you want the key to 
do. Once it is set hit return and save the config file. If you set F10 
for make subgroup, then you can hit F10 and the requester will appear. I 
ude shift F2 for this funtion and shift F10 which is 20 in the configs file
, to pick subgroups which I have already made. this works out well for me 
though if you use the shift keys you need to be careful, they will put 
you into multi mode,this can help in some cases but get in the way for 
others..... as for the Bones I think you've got it right...though I'm 
still playing with it myself and may hear different.

If you like itthen I wouldn't sugjest that they change it..after all 
anything good doesn't come easy...though it would be nice if they did.hehehe
