There is an updated version of the Cell Counter plugin at

     http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/cell-counter.html

that supports keyboard shortcuts via a new setType() method that macros
can call. Add the following macros to ImageJ/macros/StartupMacros.txt,
restart ImageJ, and you will be able to change the counter type by
pressing "1", "2", "3", etc.

   macro "Type 1 [1]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "1");}
   macro "Type 2 [2]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "2");}
   macro "Type 3 [3]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "3");}
   macro "Type 4 [4]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "4");}
   macro "Type 5 [5]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "5");}
   macro "Type 6 [6]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "6");}
   macro "Type 7 [7]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "7");}
   macro "Type 8 [8]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "8");}
