As I mentioned before, you have to make a precise statement of what you
want a command to do. In this case you haven't specified which three
different octaves you want.
Having said that, there are commands to determine which is the
prevailing clef so in principle you could write a script that would
output different notes depending on the prevailing clef, for example(*)
this script:
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><

(define (InsertPitch pitch)
        (eval-string (string-append "(d-" (number->string 
(d-GetPrevailingDuration)) ")"))
        (d-StagedDelete)
        (d-CursorToNote pitch)
        (d-AddNoteToChord)
        (d-MoveCursorRight))
                
(if (equal? "Treble" (d-GetPrevailingClef))
        (InsertPitch "f'")
        (InsertPitch "f,"))
        
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><

would make a command which when invoked inserted f' if the prevailing
clef was treble or f, otherwise. (It assumes that you are not using the
Rhythm Entry for MIDI in option).
So you could make a series of such commands for each note name and give
them your shortcuts.
