Vincent: why not introducing a "Developer" user, in addition of the
"Admin", in the Jetty/HSQLDB package? It could even be done on snapshot
versions only, since this is what developers use the most.

I'm not in favor of introducing a shortcut key because it would concern
every users who might engage the shortcut by mistake, resulting in a WTF
effect. Moreover, we already have too many shortcuts IMO, and they can be
in conflict with browser's ones (think Ctrl+G for example).

I believe a "Developer" user is what we really need.

Thanks,
