I have patched hotlist.c so that the hotlist window now displays and reacts to hotkeys 
for entries, similarly to the "f2" user menu. The hotkeys are read and stored as an 
optional field in the hotlist file, e.g.:

ENTRY "home" URL "/home/me" HOTKEY "h"

It's backwards compatible in that the users with no HOTKEY fields in this file will 
not notice any difference, the hotlist will work as usual for them. 

The only problem is that the user must select hotkeys so that they do not clash with 
the keys that activate the buttons at the bottom of the window. However, if this 
happens, the list hotkeys just get the priority and nothing bad happens. For example, 
I have used "c" as a hotkey in the list, so now I cannot press "c" to activate the 
"Cancel" button - but I don't need it anyway, so it's not a problem (and when I need 
it, I can go to it using Tab).

I use the hotlist a lot, and with hotkeys it became much "hotter" and easier to use. 
So please discuss this, and if interested, I will post the patch for inclusion into mc.
