How about some accelerator keys for the commonly-used controls, e.g. Alt+O for OK, Alt+P for Preview?
While you're doing that, how about mapping 'Esc' to the 'Cancel' button?

I implement them in all my sites and HTAs, as I find using a mouse gets in the way of productive work!
You just add the ACCESSKEY property to the control and, to add usefulness, wrap the control in a LABEL tag. Failing to do the latter step means that, for example, a user would have to click the check-box itself, rather than the check-box or its text label (which is how Windows works, of course)
In this example Alt+L toggles the check-box being checked. Note that the accelerator key is underlined, as per Windows convention:

<TR>
<TD>
<INPUT TABINDEX='4' TYPE='checkbox' ACCESSKEY='L' ID=chkUseLog NAME='chkUseLog'>
</TD>
<TD>
<LABEL FOR='chkUseLog'>
Check this box to <U>l</U>og activity (logs are written to %TEMP% folder)
</LABEL>
</TD>
</TR>
I'm sure you get the idea...
