"Amend last commit" is NOT an action. It switches a state.

It is common in Windows GUIs that every control, including menu items,
has a hotkey associated, the underlined letter in the caption, and the
hotkey to access that UI control is Alt+that letter. It's not
necessarily a matter of moving around.

And, BTW, this hotkey thing is also the case on my Linux desktop
(KDE-based).

But of course, git-gui is different and totally off track here. It has
*zero* controls marked for hotkey-accessibility. I was just hoping to
spark an effort to make some of the controls marked and hotkey-accessible.
