Shortcut Keys?

nverma

Howdy,

I was wondering is it possible to change the shortcut keys in NAV for like Properties (currently the shortcut key is Shift + F4. Which is a very awakward key to press together) or C/AL code???

maybe it's possible to create function with the shortcut key combination you wish, which send the shortcut combination you need via "Windows Script Host Object Model".WshShell automation.

That seems like some high-tech stuff :shock: . I aint at that level of expertise.

Hello Nvarma,

Ya Default Shortcut key can be modified by defining new functionality and add menu item/menu button and give short of that functionality as Default Shortcut Key.
Example:

If you define add menu item say X on Customer Card -> Customer(Menu Button) -> X (Example) and give its shortcut key as F4 then it will overwrite the default shortcut key F4 behaviour of deleting records and will perform develop function.

Please see the attached screenshot for more detail.

If Tips is useful and solved problem then please donot forget to mark it as solved.

actually, i don't think it's possible to overwrite these kind of shortcuts, because they do not regard the businness application, it's the developoment environment itself. You cannot reprogram it, AFAIK.
Well, it can be possible to do some external application which intercept your key press and convert it to shiftF4, for example...but is it worth it?!? (i'm thinking about a tool like Codegenius)
