>You may be right; I haven't written code to do what you're looking to do, so it could be a complete waste of time. My thought was to save where you are and activate the object-hunting code with the first keystroke, and get all the gory details with the second, returning to the thing you were working on before you started object hunting.

At least in theory, as long as you don't close the window you were working in, you can even bring new things to the screen before pressing the second key.
