It's a valid thought. :-)  I didn't think so at first 'cause you can't 
redefine keys using the old beta version I run.  But-- the actual release 
version, 1.10, seems to allow doing it in a config file.  Not sure whether 
you can define a key combo like ALT-J to run a BAT.  I'd have to study the 
docs.
Best,
