there are those of you who operate CW in a "full break-in"

the case?
If so, I can't envision how you tolerate the noise (!) and
understand why you'd want to lower the level of the din

Yes, it is to manage the din when operating full break-in mode!
I use QSK because my CW timing gets messed up by semi break-in. I find
myself waiting for the RX to open back up before I send the next word or
trying to rush things to prevent the change over.
I also send with bugs or straight keys

I'm one who often uses full break-in. There's a lot of reasons to use
it but it requires certain aspirations depending on situation. For
instance, here are some pointed examples:
Say you're chasing DX, there are others chasing the same station at
the same time. Everybody calling needs to leave
I can only speak for myself, but I adjust the K3's BW, AGC, RF gain
and AF gain so that the there isn't that much noise at all - so full
QSK is not painful at all, but actually quite pleasant. I suppose such
ducking of the audio could be desirable when when gains are turned way
up in an attempt to

turned on QSK.

Guy,
Forgive me for putting bandwidth change into the already complex argument,
but since you mentioned it, here is further explanation of my view on that:
When I'm operating QSK I want to hear my frequency between dits
but *only my* frequency. All too easily I make transmission errors
