A disclaimer that macros can mess up your work if not used knowingly and correctly!
Anyhow, I use a QuicKeys shortcut triggered by "f" key that types "f" then types "Shift-A"
Shift-A doesn't normally do anything in the edit window so if the dialogue doesn't come up it doesn't do anything but a normal fade.
Of course if you start renaming regions or files you have to be wary of the fA combo
