Shortcuts for switching between Vuo Editor and VuoCompositionLoader

In Quartz Composer, you can press ⌘⇧E to bring up a composition's editor window, and ⌘⇧V to bring up a composition's viewer window. It would be handy to have similar shortcuts for Vuo.

Mockup by Team Vuo

We think the addition of the shift key makes these (essential) shortcuts trickier than they need to be. We propose:

When a composition editor window is focused, press ⌘R (i.e., the Run key) to switch to the corresponding VuoCompositionLoader
When VuoCompositionLoader is focused, press ⌘R to switch to the corresponding composition editor window

QC equivalent:

⌘⇧E, ⌘⇧V

Actually now I've learnt the vuo.window.position node exists that might be duplication … maybe Editor remembers Viewer position but Vuo Window positioning node overrides it? Shall i make the request or leave it be?
