Actually, since apparently I have to solve this myself (which is what
I wanted to know), the external macro scripting tool isn't cumbersome
in relation to its power. But there's a catch I don't know how to get
around or switch off (please?), with putting it on the toolbar as an
external command or external tool: apparently, running an external
tool prompts Management Studio to save the contents of other project /
query windows, which is likely to be not what I want to have happen,
because of certain script habits. (See this for instance if you set
up Notepad.exe as an external tool.)

Well, one answer to that is to launch my thing from outside Management
Studio, for instance in the Windows XP Quick Launch toolbar next to
the Start menu. Another is to program it the way that AutoHotkey is
designed to be used, waiting for you to type a special key sequence or
some other trigger (say ttt and fff). I feel it's untidy to keep a
script loaded all the time in /case/ I want it, but I don't want to be
perverse. (But I have two going already...) And my Quick Launch
already is too well stocked for the name to be strictly accurate ;-)

Here's the slightly fancy effort: a script in AutoHotkey language that
saves clipboard, then copies the current cell, then changes the copy
to "True" unless it /was/ "True", in which case "False", then pastes
it back. So you run the same program to change NULL or False to True,
and to change True to False. AutoHotkey makes it quite easy to do
sneaky stuff like this, if you can dig the freaky syntax. I believe
it was written by gam3rz. ;-)
