The "hot" keys are which - the 8-10 extra keys around the periphery of the
keyboard?
You cannot create a new definition of a key, then? For instance, on a fully
programmable keyboard I used until recently, I programmed one of the extra
keys to change focus to the befinning of the callsign field in the logging
window by having that key "memorize" the several alt-key steps required to
get there. If your keys can only substitute for other pre-defined keys,
that won't work with this keyboard, right?

Could you program one of your extra keys to bring up the Writelog
type-ahead keyboard (the alt-K function)? If you are free to "type in" such
key strings as this instead of a program path, that gives this keyboard a
lot more flexibility. This might let it do the focus shift I mentioned above.
I gave up my old fully programmable keyboard only because I set up 2
computers to play with SO2R and felt that I needed two identical keyboards
with this setup. There is a keyboard redefinition program out there
somewhere but I haven't tried it yet.
