I often play around with parameters. Could be anti-aliasing, resolution
or the mosaic size. I would have to change the parameters inside the
ini-file, so most of the time I just bring back the last command in the
shell with one keystroke and the change the variable. I found it more
comfortable (I tried the ini-file). It's easier than to have another
editor open (which is annoying on my small 15" monitor at home). It just
works fine for me.
