A good idea, but one that would require a rather large rewrite. The current code uses tri-state booleans, which by definition means that one of the states must be coopted to mean 'don't change this'. As you point out, that coopted state is 'undefined'. Fixing this requires changing to a quad-value text box, adding what the OP called <keep> as the fourth option. Not impossible, but not totally trivial either.

This one is worth making into a ticket so it isn't forgotten.
