As said elsewhere, I don't think a debug key is the way to go here.
That's because
- using a debug key is generally deemed to render a system unsupported,
- we're not really talking about "debug" kind of information here (but
  rather generally useful one), and
- we should be rather careful with what we spend the remaining available
  characters for.
