How would you do an Eb-F trill without keeping the Eb key held down?

Even though the forked F vent is there to free things up (it compensates for RH32 being closed), sometimes when playing loud adding the Eb key to the forked F fingering will make things much clearer and the timbre of the forked F will match the Eb and G either side of it.

Oboes are FAR from perfect in their design, and we should all find out and use alternative fingerings that give more venting to stuffy notes or shading to bright notes which can work to our benefit under certain conditions.
