Oh my goodness! That's precisely what I was looking for!

Instead of Ctrl+Y it is Ctrl+J here, but never mind, it does exactly 
what I meant.

Now I wonder why I never found this feature. There is no icon for it, 
neither is there a menu option or a dialog, right? From this experience, 
I see how important it is for users to find several ways to a function.

Anyway, thanks so much Charlie!
