I haven't got this to fail. It always works.

Well, it's triggering a click and passing source and target
parameters. It is an undocumented format, though.

Neither do I. There seems to be no reason that calling the function
shouldn't work -- perhaps 200ms isn't enough time. Note though that
window.setTimeout(function() {javascript:setKeys("map") },200);
isn't right, as "javascript" won't be known. This should work though:
window.setTimeout(function() {setKeys("map") },200);
The purpose of a keyboard handler is to obviate use of the mouse, so
even if it's necessary to navigate around the screen back to the "Use
keyboard in map" link, it's not a complete dead loss. But it should be
possible to do it programmatically without user intervention.
Carry on playing with it, I suppose...
