F2 is bound to the first engine listed in the
Tools->Analysis_Engines widget. F3 to the second.
The problem is the engine ordering (and hence F2 and F3
bindings) are changed nearly every time an engine is run, or
this widget examined.

I dont think so...

I spent ages re-writing the ^%$^#&! relevant code for my
project ( http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net ) so that the F2
and F3 hot-keys are explicitly define-able.  You'll find the
patch "2_analysis_rewrite1" in this download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/scidvspc/patches/scid_vs_pc-3.6.26.5.patches.tgz/download

but porting it to Scid may not be trivial.

Another patch that may be more useful is a fix for Phalanx's
occasional illegal castling. File is "1_phalanx_castling_fix"
in tarball
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/scidvspc/patches/scid_vs_pc-3.6.26.6.patches.tgz/download
