How about a drag and drop merge in the File Browser to merge two files? If there were multiple files, then the currect way would still work
I just had to do that for some books that had random chapter breaks in the middle of chapters. But, as I recall it only took 4 steps and 5 mouse clicks to accomplish each merge.

1. Click on first file--hold down shift key
2. Click on last file
3. Right click on the highlighted area
4. Click on "merge" twice if you have "snap to" enabled. This is because the first file is already selected.

Yes, drag and drop would be a bit faster, but you'd still have to do steps 1 and 2. And step three would be the drag and drop. So you will have eliminated one double mouse click. But then, if you have to do this a lot, maybe that's worth it.
