one example of what I want to accomplish is set a keyboard shortcut for "closing other tabs" in a panel:
but would love a possibility to assign keyboard shortcuts to any command in Logos.

I don't know that there is, but if you peruse the list it is fairly exhaustive.
There's no way to customize key assignments in Logos, but maybe there's a COM API for that command, in which case you could write a little program to do it (or have someone with COM code writing experience do it) and assign it to a key using one of the various keyboard macro utility programs out there (Google search for keyboard macros to find one). At first glance, it doesn't look like there's a COM API for closing other tabs, though. So you might be out of luck.
Toughski,
u have 'close other tabs' highlighted - since this seems to be an open command-not dedicated to a specific function- which tab would it know to close? keyword[headword] 'other'......it apparently has an open command since it closes all the tabs you are NOT in in a particular set of tabs.....so it closes them all but that one.

There is a concept of the current tab that has the focus. The one that would move up/down if you hit PageUp/PageDown. That's the one that would remain open (within the pane of docked tabs). Other panes would not be affected.
Toughski is able to demonstrate by right-clicking on that tab and close all other ones. You can right click on a tab which is not on top and close all other ones but that one. However a keyboard shortcut if such existed would only be able to operate on the current top tab that had the focus. But you can use Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDn to navigate among the tabs in a pane, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Bob Pritchett has mentioned that they are working on improving keyboard accessibility. This is especially important for handicapped people some of whom are not able to operate a mouse. So hopefully lapses like this will be addressed.
Yes, Thanks. I remembered Bob's lengthy post in that thread. It does appear that it will be adjusted in due time.
I used it once and closed some books that I really wanted open, so I am careful when I right-click.....hehehhe
Rosie understood it exactly as I envisioned: there is only one tab in the whole layout that is in focus. By utilizing a keystroke Logos would close all other tabs but only in the pane with tab in focus. Tabs in all other panes will be unaffected. To close them, I would need to first switch focus to them, then perform the keystroke.
