Adding merge commands to the ribbon

We would like to add the SHIFT+F9 (show/hide individual merge code) command and the CTRL+F9 (insert blank field brackets) command to the mailing ribbon.  We have already created a custom tab and added the ALT+F9 (show/hide all merge codes).  Unfortunately, we cannot find the commands for the other two shortcuts in the command list - possibly because we don't know the proper names for the commands.

How can we add the SHIFT+F9 and CTRL+F9 commands to the ribbon?  Thank you for any assistance.

If you add the Insert Field Chars item to a custom group on a ribbon tab, it will do the same thing as Ctrl+F9.

The Insert a Field command that you can add to the QAT opens the Insert Field dialog

Hope this helps,
