==============
Now Wave2 blogging is allowed, there are many topics that I want to share with you .. really, a lot. Time is not on my side – I’m in full preparation for Directions and NAVTechDays, so let’s see.
Today, while working on my SaaS-deployment-pipeline in DevOps with
ALOps, I DID find the time to say a few words on one of the topics I’m quite excited about
: Shortcutkeys in the webclient, or in other words:
full keyboard shortcut support!
In my “real world”, users (yes, I do have customers, although people sometimes seem to be thinking otherwise.. ) have been asking this for quite some time .. and finally I can tell them: it works like it should!
Obviously you already knew about this, because I already announced it
here (and specifically
here by Microsoft) – just kidding ;-).
How it works?
Very simple: you have a “ShortCutKey” property on action, where you can set the ShortCutKey like this example:
I guess that doesn’t need too much of explanation, does it ;-)? You can simply do it the same for your actions. And I can tell you:
it works! :-).
Knowing this, let’s dive a bit into what Microsoft did…
Did Microsoft apply it to the Base Application?
Absolutely. Even more, at the current version (a bit depending on localization), I found
1370 places where Microsoft added a ShortCut! I can only imagine they were able to convert that from the Base Application ;-).
This made me think though – are there THAT many shortcuts we need to start learning by heart?
I decided to dive a little bit more into it, by analysing all the shortcuts by creating a
PowerShell script that loops all al files of the Base Application, and lists all ShortCutKey properties in a csv file. You can find the script here:

You can find
the output in that same repo, but here is the overview of all shortcuts that I found are implemented:

As you see, not really THAT many, but very useful nevertheless..
Now obviously the next question:
Can we change a ShortCutKey from within an app?
And yes you can! So, if Microsoft has forgotten any, you can add them! Here is an example:
As you can see, in this case, I didn’t just add a ShortCutKey, but I even changed the “ALT+D” to something else. And it works .. . Not sure we should all be doing this – and also not sure if everyone would do this, what would happen with conflicting shortcutkeys (although, I guess the “first of last one wins”?), but now at least, you know it’s possible!
