Keyboard shortcut for Tool Macro ?

[lechristophe]

I wonder if it is possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro inside a
macro toolset. Just adding [key] like "My Tool Action Tool [k]" in the
declaration of the macro didn't work for me.

Add a macro to the toolset that uses the setTool function to select  
the tool.

     macro "Select My Tool [k]" {setTool(id);}

Where 'id' is 10 or 15-21, depending on the position of the tool.

Thanks Wayne, it works great to select regular tools.

Unfortunately, setTool(id) does'nt work for firing Action Tools, and most of
my "tools" in the set are buttons that are Action Tools... How to get
keyboard shortcuts for these ?
