Bug Description

I realize this isn't an Ubuntu issue. Please let me know if it is not appropriate to file upstream bugs here.

Basically: using the keyboard, the fastest way to switch between Advanced, Programming and Financial modes seems to be Alt+M followed A, F or P.

It would be nice to be able to do it in one step rather than two. For instance, Alt+B, Alt+A, Alt+F and Alt+P don't appear to be used for anything and so one idea could be to bind those to the four modes. The similar calculator utility shipped with Windows lets you use function keys to switch. Personally I think the Alt-key approach is more Ubuntu-like but I'm not sure.
