Hi,

I just wanted to throw in some more thoughts. I agree with Sander -
multiple "Save" buttons will confuse the users. 

Here are my suggestions:
- Links that reference an anchor at the bottom of the form
- Collapsible configuration sections (JavaScript needed)
- call form.submit when the user presses Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac).
  This can be implemented with unobtrusive JavaScript. 

Greetings,

Gabriel
