You could use the .STEPOVER (.SO) command. ("Unlike .STEP, if .STEPOVER executes a statement that calls another routine, the called routine runs until it ends before control returns to interactive mode.")
Or somewhat more tedious you could use .OUT once you enter into HASH or DICTIONARY to get out in one step.
Now you just have to assign .SO to a key (which I assume can be done but don't know how offhand).
