Bill, I believe I just figured this out today. Not sure if it's exactly the same as what you use case needs. I just did it with the F8 key using the "Keyboard/GPI Mapping..." under the edit menu. Under "Local Shortcuts (requires component to have focus)" function section ->Sequencer-."Change Datalinqs to Text". Then in the Shortcut details tab under the Function section, I just assigned F8 as my shortcut by hitting Set "F8". You could use any key I would assume. It has been working really well for me today being able to change groups of Take ID items to Static with one press.
