Running macros from shortcut keys
 

When you record a macro, you can assign it a shortcut key. Is there a way
to assign a shortcut key to a macro that already exists?

Also, is there a way to intercept function keys (like, say, F9) and run a
macro along with the normal function of the key?
I have a number of non-volatile UDF's I'd like to update when I choose,
and linking them top F9 seems a fitting thing. If there's a better way,
I'll happily accept it.

I've figured out the answer to the question above, but not the one below.

Have a look at Application.Volatile in help.

ToolsMacrosMacros... select your macro and click Options

Why not just precede the code by

Application.Volatile

I don't want the values to update whenever the sheet is calculated, only
when I choose to. But I figured a way to do it - put a cell reference as
optional input for each of the UDF's, then have a button which sticks a
random number in that cell whenever it's clicked.
Out of curiousity, is there a way to capture key inputs like F9?

Am I currect in assuming this would have to be in some kind of macro that
was running constantly in the background? How would you do that? A pointer
to a webpage where I could research this myself would be fine.
Could it be in a worksheet event (I don't see a BeforeKeyRelease sadly)?
