Advanced kernals such as JiffyDOS and Dolphin have shortcut to load":*" while not all disks work with this. I think it's about half will load with ":*". Another half will need "*".
Since both Shift+ESC and Alt+ESC calls the same LOAD":*", i wonder if it possible to split these shortcuts to 2 different, so another one will be LOAD"*" ?
I'm not familiar with C64 kernal, so may be some one more experienced can help with that?

Re: How to patch Kernal for * and :* ?
a little explanation, if I'm not mistaken :
LOAD"*",8,1 - Load first PRG file on disk (if drive was just reset). Otherwise, it reloads the previous PRG file that was loaded.
LOAD":*",8,1 - Load always first PRG file on disk.

LOAD":*",8,1 - Load always first PRG file on disk.
