Keyboard shortcuts to turn on and off channels in composite mode

Dear List,
A great proportion of my time is spent by counting cells in
multi-channel confocal stacks. My problem is that it is not always easy
to analyze the colocalizations of 3 or 4 antigens in "color" or
"grayscale" mode, and I often prefer to alternate views of single and
multiple channels in "composite" mode. However, this requires to
constantly move the mouse over the channel tools window to switch on and
off channels.

It would be very useful to have keyboard shortcuts to switch on and off
individual channels in "composite" mode.

I guess it should be possible to use a macro, but it do not seem so
easy as the imageJ command that control the active and inactive state of
channels do not consider them individually:
Stack.setActiveChannels("0110")

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Federico
