Changing OSA setting can involve bringing a buttons window to view (you could 
a window maximized or be on a screen with no buttons window), clicking display 
tab and finaly use the osa buttons. And in most cases you will have to travel 
across a huge part of the screen. Compare to that the time it will take to enter 
space,o,s,a,1,6,enter for soemone with just average typing skills.

I think this is to be the fastest and most powerful way of accessing all blender 
functionality that you don't use often enough to memorize a single letter 
shortcut, but that you know of with name.


But I sure hope to hear more opinions about it.
