 Is there a possibility to add a shortcut key to show/hide the offline
 buddies (Ctrl + O for example)?

 The reason why I believe this would be useful is because people tend to
 have many buddies from many accounts, and I personally don't like to have
 the offline buddies displayed as they only fill up the list by 2-3 pages
 worth of scrolling to find someone. Still many times I want to check the
 log of an offline user, or write to an invisible yahoo user, for which I
 must set the option to show the offline buddies, do what I want, and then
 remove it. This can be quite an annoying and long routine.

 Thus my request, that if many operations (add account / add buddy / etc.)
 have shortcut keys assigned, which (in my personal opinion) are much less
 frequent operations then show/hide offline buddies, then showing/hiding
 offline buddies should also have one.

 I know that it is still doable from the keyboard with Alt + B + O + O, but
 that is far to long (both to remember and to use) for a frequent
 operation.
