Activating a script without the mouse

Featured Replies

Hello everyone. I am developing a pretty extensive filemaker solution for a church and they do not want to be forced to use the mouse during data entry. Basically I want to create a new record without having to use the mouse. I also have a verification script that I want to run to verify if two calculation fields match. Is there a plugin that does this or a way to program the function keys to do this? I know I can leave the scripts under the scriptmaker menu and use Command -1 etc. but I was wondering if there was another way. Thanks in advance.

PS. I really appreciate all of the great feedback. This forum is very impressive. grin.gif

The best way I see for them to create a record w/out the mouse is the command (Win -Ctrl, Mac -apple key) + N. My boss didn't even know about scripts and has used this program for 10 years. He just used the keyboard shortcut.

The other script I would leave in the menu like you said. Hopefully someone else out there can be more useful.

I can't see why anyone wouldn't want a mouse, but I guess there's all kinds out there.

good luck!
