  Perhaps it's a pain to *you* because you don't know how to do it
efficiently?
  After all, it just requires a couple of keystrokes. Granted, with
that setting you need a couple of keystrokes more: with winpov it's
enough to press alt-g to render while with a setting like yours it
requires pressing alt-tab, up, enter. However, I wouldn't call that
a "real pain".
  Perhaps you just don't know how to use your keyboard?

  It's funny that, according to my experience, most people who advocate
the extensive use of the mouse do not know how to use their mouse
efficiently. I'm not telling you fall into this category, but I wouldn't
be surprised. You present all the symptoms.
