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...
