I can't think of a direct way to do this, but how about something like this:

Instead of having the menu items (and thus, the keyboard shortcuts) go directly to the _med_xxx functions, have them call code, which then uses SYS(1500) to execute the relevant menu item and also calls your routine that enables controls.
