The half-baked idea that came to mind was some sort of "quick test" function within the Server menu of the Options and Messages window. Basically what the "Quick test" function would do is automatically host the DMB on any available port, launch another Seeker window under a Guest account, and direct it automatically to localhost:port.

This would save me a lot of trouble form the current convoluted process, presently being CTRL+K, CTRL+R, F1, Server > Host, OK, switch to pager, CTRL+L, select Guest, login, CTRL+O, join localhost. With this function, it's shortened to CTRL+K, CTRL+R, F1, Server > Quick Test.

In situations where the developer may need more than one two keys present, perhaps quick test would bring the pager to the front and auto-logout the current key?
If byond.exe has command line arguments (something like $ byond 127.0.0.1:4567 -key Guest) you could create a batch file or shell script to compile your game and run instances of DS. This might require the addition of these command line parameters (I can't find any documentation about byond.exe) but would require little to no changes in DM. It also allows for any functionality you'd want. Some people might want the quick test to run three clients instead of two.
