Re: Short cut keys for a menu option...

I had a chance to look at Autohotkey last night but I'm not sure it will 
fit my needs.  The issue I see is that as I switch views (ctl-F7) from 
Lpex to the rse view it's not always a consistent number of keystrokes.

For example, if I had done a search and that tab remains open I may have 
to ctl-F7 past that view as well before I reach the rse view. So the 
number of times I need to press ctl-F7 to set focus to the rse view is 
not consistent.

Autohotkey does have a number of Window related commands but I would 
need (if I understand correctly) something which would could identify 
the tab or view so the script would keep searching until it found the 
rse view.  I'm going to do more investigation over the weekend.  There 
is a script page (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/) I will check 
out to see if any of these samples address my scenario.

Thanks for the suggestion Buck.  Even if it doesn't solve this issue it 
looks like a very useful tool the may help me in other areas.
