Hi,
I just found that the following combination of F-keys works for my purpose:
F5 and then F7. This can be done from the command line as .step and .out.
Wayne: thanks for the tip.
I'm fine with this (two key strokes are for sure better than 90 and just a bit worse than 1), however, for consistency, it would be nice if these functions (hash, dictionary,...) would be implemented in the compiler in such a way that one cannot go into them (.step).
Thanks and sorry for bothering with what seems like a trivial issue, but has driven me mad (and eroded my F5 key down of ~1mm).
Cheers,
Helder

It takes one step and *if* you enter another procedure in that step it continues until you return (e.g exit the HASH call). This appears to be exactly what you are asking for.
