No need for invisible fields for portal/list navigation if you use
OnLayoutKeystroke rather than OnObjectKeystoke- change the If step to
If (IsEmpty ( Get ( ActiveFieldName ) ) and Abs ( $plusmin ) = 1
then do a Goto Portal Row or Goto Record by calculation step
(or something like that)
[When you start combining different triggers on the same layout and/or
object you need to be aware of the order in which they get fired]
