Short answer: you don't. You provide a keyboard shortcut for the scripted button which can be invoked at any point in the data entry. On 11 January 2011 07:34, Richard S.

There's still no support for f-keys (feature request please!) but most other keys are available. On a Mac, Command is required plus any combination of Shift and Option so there's plenty of scope for logical keystrokes if you plan carefully. (Aside: I'm a very keyboard-centric user myself, which is why I've always taken the time to create custom menus and keyboard shortcuts. My problem has generally been that I see users still relying on the mouse after I've given them a much quicker way to work!)
