icon editor - add key binding to "OK" button

I'm a power user. I like to go fast and the keyboard is my friend. Create some keyboard shortcut to "OK" out of the icon editor.

 

I'm requesting this because i frequently go into the icon editor, tab between fields and only edit the text fields. (usually because i have copied an existing VI and i only need to update the icon text). 

 

Per previous ideas, it has already been decided that the 'enter' key is not a good option (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Close-icon-editor-with-enter-key/idi-p/997401), so i'd like to take Jack Dunaway's idea and suggest the ctrl+s key. This is a great key choice because ctrl+w is already bound to the 'cancel' button (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/close-icon-editor-with-escape-esc-key/idi-p/2281978) and it jives with the reflexes we've already acquired for the labview environment.
