More convenient "Save Incremental"?

“Save Incremental” works, but I think it’s inconvenient to have to launch the File Dialog.

What I’d prefer is a hotkey as in After Effects. The file dialog slows me down.

Research reveals that many people have tried to address this in Python*, but there seems to be issues. I don’t have any beef with how Blender’s Save Incremental works, just how it’s invoked. If there were a Python call to whatever routines B is using in its native Save Incremental that would be fine.

Ideally, the devs would add “Save Increment” to the File Menu, with a hotkey.

*conspicuously, here: Incremental Save

I wrote a quick addon inspired by this.

If the current file has been saved at least once, it automatically increments on save.
Also added an entry to File menu so a shortcut can be easily made.
