>>The inlist I added a minute ago, before I forgot about cmdClose button. Now, I want to be able to find the hotkey for this button to include it into the OR condition. I actually know that it's "l" in our system, but what if the form doesn't have a Close button and L stands for something else? It looks like this problem could not be solved, but may be you have some ideas?

Yes, but this would work after you position the mouse on the button. If you just press the keyword combination, it would not work. That's why I said, this task could not be solved, or would require too much code.
