Well, I see two possible solutions.
1) if the application has a cursor, which you can find out by pressing
insert-control-c, then you might define 2 cursoring keys for the 2 hotkeys
which will read the statusline, when pressed.
2) your might define a hyperactive window which can read the statusline when
the content of the status line changes

Subject: A Hot Key Question

My son recently wrote me a very simple calendar program.  It uses control-p
and control-n to go to the previous and next day, and alt-p and alt-n to go
to the previous and next month.  The date appears on the status line, which
I can access using control-insert-s.  I would prefer to have the date read
as I use the hot keys to move through the calendar.

Wonder if someone might be able to tell me how to accomplish this, please?

Thanks,

Karen Poulakos
