Maybe I misunderstood you - another time. 

When rereading and thinking again, I now think your goal was to just
commit the function which is working only (= generating list etc) when
pressing defined keystroke. Previously I understood the automerging
stuff .... Well, if I'm now right, I agree and adding any option would
be not very useful at all here beside the keybinding ;)
