Try ONLY using a key-others which calls your library routine. This is a funny animal - once defined any keys you don't define as doing the normal thing will call the key-others. I'd at least define the key-exit to do the normal thing so you don't get trapped with no way out of the form. Chances are this will be slower than defining the keys you want and using key-others to disable everything else.
