This is a global change (affecting all menuentries) for a local goal 
(have a jump hotkey for a menuentry). This has a drawback of making 
simultaneous inclusion of two files with different behaviour 
problematic. This should be implemented as a separate --jump-hotkey with 
additional benefit of allowing both hotkey and jump hotkey at the same time.
