feature notion

Thus far I've only used one of my programmable function keys.  (Speaker
plus phones or not.)

I do about half my operating at QRP and half at ~100 W.  A nice
single-push toggle would be one that could swap the K3 from, for
example, 5 W and 100 W.

I agree.  I like to be able to go to low power to use my remote  
tuner.  It takes quite a few turns to "crank" down to 5 watts and then  
return to 100 watts.

Rick, you can set the config item "TUN PWR" to low power for tuning
purposes. This gives a pre-set power level when pressing the "TUNE"
button, settable from 0.1 Watt upwards.

Thanks Dave and Lyle

That will work very well.  I guess I need to "Read The Fine Manual"!    
Although, with a K3, that is a moving target.
