Yes, it's the same idea. Didn't know you had been doing that.
Intermittent makes it tough, but if it cranks with the screwdriver every time it fails with the key, then you have narrowed the problem down to the circuit between the solenoid and the ignition switch. Most often, this means the ignition switch (not sure how you tested yours) or the seatbelt relay junk under the passenger seat (which should be bypassed by joining the large yellow wire).
