Not that I know of, but you can implement a handy workaround:

create separate buttons on the form with only the caption you want:

"\<2" etc, and in their click event, call the click events of the picture buttons. Just move the buttons off screen to get them out of site. Only downside to this is the picture buttons will not visible depress when the shortcuts are used.
