Hi Victor,
You can use accelerator char to "click" on the button
with your keyboard. In the button's caption place an
ampersand (&) before the character you want to be used
as accelerator char. Notice that the char will be
underlined.
After that, you can "click" on the button by pressing
Alt+X (where X is the picked char).
Of course you have to be sure that no duplicate
accelerator char.
If you want the button can be "clicked" using either
keyboard's Enter button or Escape button, then you can
use "Default" property (set to True) of the button for
click by Enter keyboard button. Use "Cancel" property
of the button for click by Esc keyboard button.
Cheers!
