Paste this in as the "Command" part of a shortcut key:

script:
/* Set color to gradient between first and last selected objects */
var start_r = 255;
var start_g = 255;
var start_b = 255;

var end_r = 0;
var end_g = 0;
var end_b = 0;

var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects();

if ( objs.length >= 2 )
{
	var start_obj = objs.item(0);
	var end_obj = objs.item( objs.length-1 );
	var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles();

	var start_color = styles.item( start_obj.styleIndex ).color;
	var end_color = styles.item( end_obj.styleIndex ).color;

	start_r = ((start_color >> 16) & 0xFF);
	start_g = ((start_color >> 8) & 0xFF);
	start_b = ((start_color >> 0) & 0xFF);

	end_r = ((end_color >> 16) & 0xFF);
	end_g = ((end_color >> 8) & 0xFF);
	end_b = ((end_color >> 0) & 0xFF);
}

function Lerp( t, low, high )
{
	return low + ((high - low) * t);
}

function GetStyle( r, g, b )
{
	var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles();
	for ( var i = 0; i < styles.length; ++i )
	{
		var style = styles.item(i);
		this_r = ((style.color >> 16) & 0xFF);
		this_g = ((style.color >> 8) & 0xFF);
		this_b = ((style.color >> 0) & 0xFF);

		if ( this_r == r && this_g == g && this_b == b )
		{
			return style;
		}
	}

	return moi.geometryDatabase.addStyle( '', (r << 16) | (g << 8) | (b << 0) );
}

for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i )
{
	var t = i / (objs.length-1);
	var r = Math.round( Lerp( t, start_r, end_r ) );
	var g = Math.round( Lerp( t, start_g, end_g ) );
	var b = Math.round( Lerp( t, start_b, end_b ) );

	if ( r == 0 && g == 0 && b == 0 )
	{
		r = 1;
	}

	var style = GetStyle( r, g, b );
	var obj = objs.item(i);

	obj.styleIndex = style.index;
}
