The following script works fine for me, this is on a Mac, but I think you can just use ctrl instead on Win…

One test button & one field called resultField

on mouseUp
   answer "Press cmd+y for Yes, cmd+t for Test or cmd+c for Cancel" with "Yes" or "Test" or "Cancel" as sheet
   put it into fld "resultField"
end mouseUp
