Quickly Changing Thumbnail Size in Grid View

Hi...

Is there a quick way (ideally a settable keyboard shortcut) to change displayed thumbnail size?

The only way I seem to be able to do this is from a hierarchial menu from the gear icon at the top right of the grid view's top bar.

Dear Sir:

Thumbnail size change is not considered by us as something that user will do frequently / regularly:

 - thumbnails are generated in exact  size they're displayed (to avoid sharpness loss on second resize)

 - thumbnails are stored in memory (so, generating larger thumbnail for future quick resize will take a lot of extra RAM)

So, each thumbnail change results in completely dropping of memory thumbnail cache and regenerating thumbnails.

As a result, moving thumbnail size change to a hotkey (invitation for frequent resizing) requires big changes in FRV internals (and, definitely, such change will result in much more RAM used for thumbnails cache).
