I thought about this: I should add a shortcut for the "Advanced" features of FET, into the shortcuts tab widget in the main window. Or should I not?

I thought that the "Advanced" (spread and remove redundant) refer only to time constraints, so I should add it in the "Time" shortcuts tab, by shrinking the "Activities" shortcut button, like:

All             Break
Teachers    Students
Activities    Advanced

What do you suggest? Am I right? Or I should not do that and leave the only way of access to Advanced functions in the menu?

I know these advanced functions are seldom used. But I want people to be able to work with FET only from shortcuts, and also I do not want them to forget about applying the advanced functions.

I am not sure what is the best way, so that is why I ask the users' point of view.

If you want to separate buttons to two categories: normal and advanced, i'd say add a checkbox at some discreet position and if checked, add the extra buttons in a separate groupbox.

No, I don't want to have 2 categories. I want a single category. I just want to know if it is better to add the advanced functions as a shortcut button to the shortcuts tab (probably in "Time" tab), or not.
