I wrote software for the used car business and one early customer paid me big money to put an ON KEY command to format the hard disk. This was either in 89 or 1990 time frame.
The other On Key was to bring up the command window to execute commands in an attempt to find out what might be wrong at a client's site.

I really never fully took advantage of this gem in VFP. In my apps, I haven't allowed editing in grids in probably 14 years. Some of my users seem to want that though so I'm thinking of allowing such ability now. I was thinking of using ON KEY to pop up a lookup form to add data records to the grids (instead of that native whatever way of doing an APPEND blank in the native VFP grid).
In the past, I've really just used ON KEY to pop up the help file on demand.
In what other ways have you used ON KEY in your designs?
