Indexing functionality in 1.7.0

Hi

I've just committed an indexing function to 1.7.0.svn that I've written. Typical indexing options with styles based formatting. Uses Marks based text selection for tagging words.

Thank you very much, Craig!
I started to test the waters with 1.7.x and to my delight found this indexing functionality. I made a test file, then, lo and behold - out came an index! Pure magic...
In quite a few occasions, books I produced would really benefit from an index.
The only question I have - every time to mark a word for index takes quite a number of movements, namely: Highlight the word-Right click-Insert Mark-Index Entry-OK.
Then the Message box closes. (It would have been quicker, if it would stay onscreen, ready to accept the next word to be indexed - sort of an Action Mode).
Anyhow, when there are few thousands words to be marked this way, the process becomes really tiresome.
Therefore, the question: Is there a way to assign a shortcut to it? Say, select the word, press the shortcut combo, done!
Thank you again for your wonderful input!
