A hotkey for insert via would be rather useful and I read the manual and can't find it, I am thinking about adding it.

Right mouse button also feels like a good solution but available on left hand is also easily accesible while drawing a route. To insert a via if layer is changed while routing will probably be my solution but I wan't to hear your oppinion about the choice of key?

Select Via tool (F1) and click.
