A slightly better version:
on rawKeyUp pKey
-- put pKey
put getParentCard(the long id of the target) into tParentCard
put the editing of tParentCard into tEditMode
if tEditMode is empty then \
pass rawKeyUp
switch pKey
case 65307 -- esc
if the editing of tParentCard is among the items of "new,edit" and \
there is a button "btnCancel" of tParentCard then \
send mouseUp to button "btnCancel" of tParentCard in 15
milliseconds
break
case 65535 -- del
if the editing of tParentCard is "view" and \
there is a button "btnDelete" of tParentCard then \
send mouseUp to button "btnDelete" of tParentCard in 15
milliseconds
break
case 65293 -- return
if the editing of tParentCard is "view" and \
there is a button "btnEdit" of tParentCard then \
send mouseUp to button "btnEdit" of tParentCard in 15
milliseconds
break
case 65421 -- enter
if the editing of tParentCard is "view" and \
there is a button "btnEdit" of tParentCard then \
send mouseUp to button "btnEdit" of tParentCard in 15
milliseconds
break
end switch
pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
