Static simply means it can't be changed. The number/index/label is used for
identity so can't be changed.
This approach is clever in that the label is an index into the hotkey array
so it is effecient, however has a couple of drawbacks. If the programmer
changes the array, or if the array is in any way dynamic it has problems.
I may have come up with a different solution though that uses checksums in
the config file so the amount of memory used stays the same and lines can be in
any order, plus have any sort of descriptor. I'm testing it now.
