I tried that before posting, with one of the previously blank keys, and
it didn't work. I just tried with the other one and it did.

however, I'd probably hit that when I was aiming for the shift key,
flipping screens when I don't want to , so maybe I won't bother.

Or you could use ReqAttack and use Return to OK requesters :)

I think I used one of the keymap editors on Aminet.
