Hi Lee,

I think the key would be setting the tab order.  If you can move from field to 
button by using the tab key and then hit enter or start typing to fill in a 
field it should work.

Many years ago I was involved in a research project that tested which was 
faster for data input,  mouse and keyboard or just keyboard.  Just keyboard was 
much more efficient,  at least in the tests we did at the time.  Since then GUI 
interfaces have improved a great deal,  but I believe that keeping your fingers 
on the keyboard is still faster..  

Hope this is helpful.
