Launching date chooser popup using keyboard shortcut

Question

Hi,
Our application is configured to launch the LOV's using the keybooard shortcut f8.Now that our users want the date popup also to be launched using the same shortcut.
Is there a way to launch the date popup using the keyboard shortcut.
The javascript used is given below,
function launchPopUpUsingF8(event) {
var component = AdfPage.PAGE.getActiveComponent();
if(event.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.F8_KEY) {   
if(component.getTypeName() == 'AdfRichInputListOfValues') {
AdfLaunchPopupEvent.queue(component, true);
if(component.getTypeName() == 'AdfRichInputDate') {
//code to launch date popup

Hi,
here you go
<af:resource type="javascript">
        function launchPopUpUsingF8(event) {
            var component = event.getSource();
            if (event.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.F8_KEY) {
                if (component.getTypeName() == 'AdfRichInputListOfValues') {
                    AdfLaunchPopupEvent.queue(component, true);
                if (component.getTypeName() == 'AdfRichInputDate') {
                    var popup = component.findComponent(component.getAbsoluteLocator()+'::pop');
                    var hints = {align: AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_END_AFTER, alignId:component.getAbsoluteLocator()};
                    popup.show(hints);
        }Frank
