intercept on/off button duplicated next to settings wheel

The proxy intercept switch is a core feature of burp and it's kinda buried in the UI. It's hard to even get a "muscle memory" for it because when you turn it off the view changes to the blank screen with the binoculars or whatever... Makes it hard to recognize at a glance when you're trying to quickly resume intercept after needing to turn it off. I've been using this program for a few years now and STILL find myself clicking around erroneously or in frustration trying to find the imtercept. A real easy solution would be to duplicate or move the intercept button to a location viewable from any place or tab you're currently viewing in burp... Such as next to settings cog. Please consider this.

Hi Thanks for the feedback! You should be able to use hotkeys to toggle Intercept on and off - this should be "Control + T" by default. We can raise this as a feature request if you would like. However, this would likely mean that we monitor the level of interest in this functionality before prioritizing further, so we cannot provide an ETA for when we could implement this feature. Please let us know if you would like us to raise this feature request.
