Well, it turned out not to be as complicated as I thought. For me the major 
complication turned out to be that I don't have the English WP.MRS file 
available at the moment. (I have it at the office, but I won't be there this 
and next week.) So I had to translate manually -- probably with some errors. 
Sigh.
Before the translation it seemed to work as you specified though ...
Basically the macro intercepts all keyboard input within the F5 list and 
modifies the behaviour of the '1' option to what you wanted. Otherwise there 
should be no differences. You could use this in a keyboard definition as a 
replacement of F5.
