Yes, I changed them so that they are imho grouped in a more logically
way.

I thought about this and came to the conclusion that it is better to use
1 for the default.  Despite that scripts should not use the menu to
generate a key, I am pretty sure that there are some applications which
do it nevertheless.  Using 1 for the default ensures that the new
default is taken.
