Keyboard commands in game

I have lost many a game by time in the fraction of a second it takes to hit the send button. Granted, most of them I was going to lose anyway, but once or twice I was really close to winning. Thus, I was wondering if it is possible to make a key stroke send the move. The "enter" or "s" key might not be good because of the chat screen, but what about "alt+s" or something like that?

Good Idea but I'd rather it be a simple key like "enter" for instance since what matters is what window is active at the time. If you type, "enter" and the game window is active it'll have a different effect from when it's the chat window. At least that's how it works on my computer. for "alt+s" you need both your hands and therefore you have to let go of the mouse, it could become tiresome to have to do that 60 or 70 times consecutively.

I've never done keyboard short-cuts in flash before, but I'll check it out.
