Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut that will call a function in an
external library? What I'd like to do is add a reference in a template to a
DLL that I've created, then have a method in this DLL called when the user
presses a certain key combo (e.g. Ctrl - j). I've been able to bind key
combos to functions local to the template, but not to ones in the DLL.

how about a shortcut to a macro, which calls whatever you like?
