Adding keyboard shortcut to toggle visibility of patches in TrakEM2

Dear List,
I'm using TrakEM2 to analyze huge multi-channel confocal reconstructions. I'm
importing the channels as separate 8-bit patches with the antigen specified
within the patch name, apply a LUT with "adjust image filters" and set the
composite mode to Add.
To switch on and off a channel I'm using the "select all that match
function". Nonetheless, this method is very slow, and it would be much
better if one could define keyboard shortcuts for that.
I wrote this simple script to toggle visibility of patches based on their
names, but I can't figure out how I could call it from a keyboard shortcut
inside TraKEM2.

Any hint will be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much!

Federico

Here is an example of the script:

from ini.trakem2.display import *

for layer in Display.getFront().getLayerSet().getLayers():
patches = layer.getDisplayables(Patch)
for patch in patches:
if "DCX" in patch.title:
if patch.visible == True:
patch.visible = False
else:
patch.visible = True
