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...
