Hi,

You could argue that A (as in "amend") makes quite an intuitive hotkey. But personally I'm also leaning towards CTRL/CMD+E. The ALT+(letter) combination is used to open a menu, for instance ALT+R opens "Repository", ALT+E opens "Edit", etc. That's the behaviour on Windows, anyways. So the hotkeys may seem a bit "mixed up" when ALT+(some letter) opens the corresponding menu but ALT+A does something quite different.
