Try a key trigger such as key-next or key-previous. I think (?) post-item will do the trick. Alternatively you could wait for much later when the user wants to commit and put the code in the key-commit trigger.
All have their pros and cons.
Personally I would provide and LOV to validate the user input and to create a new item for the list force the user to take some other action like selecting another button/key/menu item. As a user I would not like the computer to assume that every invalid data item I entered is actually a new value that I want to add to the list.
I hope this helps.
