Re: Programming the "Execute Query" key

yes, this is possible.
The buttons should be set to kb navigable/mouse navigable false.

Then, the execute-query button can read: do_key('execute_query'); and the cancel-query button can read: do_key('exit_form') (exit_form exits query mode). You may have to trap with some extra code in your key-exit
like:
if :system.current_mode = 'QUERY' then

   exit_form;
else

   exit_form(ask_commit);
end if;
