The toggling bit was mostly a joke. :)

This is really only useful to people designing and debugging panels,
and they're not likely to decide to do that in the middle of a long
flight.  They'll start up fgfs with a --prop:/sim/panel-hotspots=1 on
the command line, edit their panels, and do a "reset" to see their
changes.  Unless there are applications for this feature that I don't
see, they'll never want to turn the feature on and off interactively.

There are a limited number of keys available.  IMHO, panel hotspots
aren't important enough to a general user to justify getting a key
assigned to them by default.  As you said, a menu option would make a
lot more sense.
