Hello

Is there any way to set up a hotkey to change the Importance of a task?

Background
I had a minor epiphany, on a walk today.  

I need to *just do the extremely important tasks*. (e.g. Importance = 
"Max") 

And then, once they are done, then I can move to the *fairly *important 
tasks  (e.g. Importance = "A lot") 
And then, only if time permits to take on the task of lesser importance... 
etc etc.

What has happened to me personally, is that over time too much crud has 
built up in my system most of which isn't all that important. The crude 
tool of making tasks either active or "someday-maybe", is also too blunt an 
instrument, as one ends up with an unfeasibly large number of tasks which 
one doesn't want to delete just yet, and yet which are too 
time-consuming to review in their entirety on a regular basis. Using the 
Start Date to kick less important stuff down the road doesn't solve the 
problem either... Here's the thing: I just don't want to even SEE tasks 
until I am in the mode that is ready to even think about taking them on. 

The problem is that allocating actual values to the Importance field seems 
cumbersome using the mouse. Reluctantly I concede that I could try setting 
up some new, dedicated Context tags, but this too feels cumbersome as I 
already have rather too many contexts for comfort(!). Also turning off one 
Context and turning on another feels fiddly. Another suggestion would be to 
use Flags but I already use Flags for other purposes... And in any case my 
setup does already use Importance for it's intended purpose for certain 
views...

Any suggestions?
