Lee,
The SecureFM plug-in, along with many other functions, allows you to
create hot-keys, with or without modifier keys (control, command,
option, shift), not connected to menu items. The hot-keys can be
context specific - by file, window, TO, or layout. And it supports
grep if you want to get elaborate (or efficient). Free download and
demo files are available at http://www.newmillennium.com. It plays
well with Custom Menus and Script Triggers if you want to use them in
combination.
FYI, SecureFM has been around for 15 years (since before FileMaker
had a plug-in API) so it's mature and battle tested.
Have fun!
Now, whether or not it's a good idea to try to eliminate the use of a
mouse altogether is questionable...

Hi,
I've had a request from a client using one of my solutions. Can it
be used without a mouse, that is, can key strokes be used to replace
the mouse ?
I've never thought about it before so I'm just throwing it out there
to see if its possible.
I guess it just means can you activate scripts from a keyboard
instead of using the mouse to click on buttons.
They're using FM 8.5v2
