Hi Dave,

the Do-menu deserves to be top-level. It is the only menu being extensible
in a quite simple way. If we hide it in some other sub-menu then it wouldn't
be more prominent than it is right now in the world menu.

Accessibility could be even more improved by automatically assigning a
shortcut per line once open. Or by prefixing its label with its line number
to make the menu-keyboard-filter more powerful there.

Try this:
- Hit CTRL+5
- Type 'de'
- Hit return.

It will close all open debuggers. Or it will do anything that first matches
the query.

Best,
Marcel
