indeed, it just toggles the regular syntax highlighing option and is
saved on editor exit ...

not exactly a "fast toggle". :)

i think the "quick toggles" should be additional variables that "mask
out" certain features or feature groups and don't change the "regular"
options behind them.

the rationale is that if i have a certain preference, i can change the
option in the config dialog and do not need it being quickly accessible.
if i want to change it quickly otoh, i probably have an acute reason and
would not want the setting to persist once i exit the editing session -
after all, it is against my preference.
