Q on creating keyboard shortcuts for command sequences



How do I create one- or two-keystroke shortcut(s) for the following:

Special->Conditional Text->Show/Hide->Show All->Set
Special->Conditional Text->Show/Hide->Show->Set

Ideally, I'd like to make a single shortcut act as a toggle between Show All
and Show, but separate shortcuts would be fine. The current (FM default
shortcuts (longcuts?!) are, respectively: Esc vCas and Esc vCws.

I've read Shlomo Perets's paper "Customizing FrameMaker Keyboard Shortcuts"
(http://www.microtype.com/resources/fmkcfg.pdf). He shows how to assign a
shortcut to a given FM command, but how do I find which FM commands
correspond to the above sequences?

That is, how do I determine the commands specifically associated with
selecting the Show All and Show radio buttons, then clicking the Set button
(in the Show/Hide dialog box)? Knowing these commands would presumably allow
me to create the shortcuts.

The file cmds.cfg (in fminit/configui on Windows) lists just this command,
which merely opens the Show/Hide dialog box: <Command ConditionVisibility
<Label Show/Hide Conditional Text...> ...>

More generally, going through FM dialog boxes to do things each time is a
pain, and the built-in shortcuts are often verbose. I'd really like to
shorten things up a bit.

Thanks for any help.
