FileMaker does not use many of the APIs for Carbon. It was simply made
to run as a Carbon app and that is pretty much it.

The best way to recognize this is to use some application like QuicKeys
X2 and try to use their Button QuicKeys to trigger FileMaker buttons -
(QuicKeys uses Accessibility on OS X) . No go. :(

Maybe in the next version hopefully.
