But in this menu I noticed that the result was different. Amazon became something like a virtual folder and the action is called DE.

A way to set a number of keystrokes to open an action is to add the ampersand somewhere in the action group name. This serves as a hotkey.  
So if you name an action "&Cleanup" then  
Alt-A-C  
will open that action group.  
There is currently no way to adapt the toolbar in any way.
