My button labeled Open for example, will be triggered if the alphanumeric key "O" is pressed. Is this possible?

This will work if it is accompanied by the ALT key. What about without any of the CTRL, ALT or SHIFT keys?

Hi,
Before I posted this code I've tested it without any other key.
So, When you type "O" the Msgbox will be showing the message.
