Hi Steffen, Ingo, and the rest

I started to give my 5 cents in hci, but I think it is better to do it here.

If I want to set a shortcut, I need to fill in the shortcut settings, 
and if want to set external url, the field is required. Why should users 
   need an extra click for inserting what is required?

I do not see a point in having the same fields in general for all page 
types. In contrary, this will make it unintuitive to inspect what is 
special about the given doktype.
