Creating a Hot Key

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

A Hot Key is a combination of keys used to launch a shortcut instead of using the mouse.

To create a hot key:

1.

Select Shortcuts from the checklist. The Shortcuts View opens.

2.

Select the shortcut to which you want to add the Hot Key.

3.

Click on the Hot Key field in the properties grid. The Hot Key dialog box opens.

4.

Press the keys on the keyboard that you want to use for the shortcut. The shortcut appears in the dialog.

5.

If the shortcut is correct, click OK. The dialog box closes and the shortcut’s converted ASCII value appears as the value for the Hot Key.

Note:These four fields in the Shortcuts Property Box are required for creating a Hot Key: Icon, Target, Run, and Hot Key. When you are creating the Hot Key Combination, DO NOT use a keyboard combination already adopted by Microsoft (such as Ctrl+V, which is used for Paste). Otherwise, the shortcut will not work.
