InitializationCell -> Toggle shortcut key

mathgroup,

i'd like to create a keyboard shortcut to toggle initialization cell
status.

reading through the archives and studying a post from paul hinton, i
edit the file KeyEventTranslations.tr (deeply buried in the filesystem)
to include the following line:

Item[KeyEvent["i", Modifiers -> {Command, Control}], InitializationCell
-> Toggle]

i save, restart, and blow up. (something about a syntax error on line
52 of the file that reads \tItem[KeyEvent[\".)

my intuition of what's wrong is that i stole the InitializationCell ->
Toggle bit from MenuSetup.tr in the same directory and that a rule like
that won't do as the second argument to Item[ ]; my guess is that i'll
need a three-part FontEndToken[ ] object to pass into the second
position of Item[ ], but i haven't a clue as to what the correct
structure for that FrontEndToken[ ] would be.

anyone have any suggestions on formulating an initialization cell
toggle Item[ ] for KeyEventTranslation.tr?

trevor.
