I agree, your proposal above is closer to ideal (though mine is easier in
the short term). However, part of my motivation for my modifier key proposal
was that some of the within-same-activity use cases could be everyday uses,
where an intervening dialog would be an annoyance. Can you think of a way
for the power user to short-circuit the dialog? For instance, there could be
some fine print in the dialog to the effect that "future shift-view-source
from this activity will repeat whatever option you select now".
