That's a good guess, but it won't help in this case. When you assign a
window type, you are essentially reclassing the window. Window-Eyes will
then treat that window special by sending it the messages that type of
window should respond to. In this case, when you reclass a static as a
status bar, Window-Eyes will send it status bar messages. But since a
static window doesn't understand status bar messages, it won't respond
appropriately, meaning the status bar hot key still won't read.
Assigning window type is typically only useful when you're dealing with
custom controls that do know how to respond appropriately.
