Hmm, I would have chosen 'p' for profile, but YMMV :-)

That's one solution indeed, but I find the numbers in the menu a bit intrusive
for most users (that use mouse), and more importantly the numbers aren't
fixes (unlike desktops). If you create a new profile, it might shift all numbers.

Did you notice that you simply have to use '&' in the profile name, to create a
shortcut ? Maybe we could mention that in the profile dialog. The advantage
of that solution, is that the shortcut remains the same for a given profile, not
depending on the other profiles, and is easier to remember (F for file management,
W for web browsing, etc.). What do you think ?
