@emre, what would it take to add either or both of:

- shortcut key mapping to Ask Question Buttons (via button-configuration)
- simple but automatic Tab Index to each of the Buttons

For example, using Tab key, we can tab-into the button area, but individual button tab-index is not available, nor is selection via spacebar or enter key …

If we could at least Tab through the buttons, then use Enter or Space for selection, that would suffice.

Or if we could assign shortcuts somehow… this is the current button configuration syntax:

> [@\[New 4.1.37\] Ask Question Action](https://forum.sambapos.com/t/new-4-1-37-ask-question-action/1414/23):
>
> `[Caption]=[Parameter]:[Hover Color];[Button Color]`
> 
> For example:
> 
> `%10=10:Blue;White,%20=20:Red;Black`
> 
> That will produce 2 buttons with:
> 
> - Button 1: Caption = `%10`, Parameter = `10`, HoverColor = `Blue`, ButtonColor = `White`
> - Button 2: Caption = `%20`, Parameter = `20`, HoverColor = `Red`, ButtonColor = `Black`

Maybe something like this syntax could work:

```auto
[Caption]=[Parameter]:[Hover Color];[Button Color]:[shortcutKey]

```
