	Hey, that's fine in principal. But if you look at the plugin 
architecture, you'll see that the execution method precludes this. 
You could have a little thread at the core to do this, although that 
would be fraught with problems as threads that touch GUI elements are 
a bad thing. 

	I'm not saying this is impossible. I'm just saying it's not going to 
get solved with a simple keyPress() hierarchy.
