(OpenInsight Specific) ==== === At 21 APR 1999 11:22:10AM Greg James, ISIS, Inc. wrote: === {{tag>"OpenInsight Specific"}} <QUOTE> Is there such a thing as a 'standard' list of hot-keys? Most applications, particularly Microsoft, use the key to access help; to enable edit mode in a cell, etc., etc. Is there a guidline that specifies this information? I have heard of a 'common user access' text, but the only one I found was out of print and probably out dated by current standards. Any suggestions? </QUOTE> ---- === At 22 APR 1999 04:36AM Oystein Reigem wrote: === <QUOTE>Greg, Searched my MSDN Library CDs and found "The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design". Here's one of the chapters - "Appendix B Keyboard Interface Summary". Hope you can use it. - Oystein - This appendix summarizes the common keyboard operations, shortcut keys, and access key assignments. Table B.1 displays a summary of the keys used for navigation. Table B.1 Common Navigation Keys Key Cursor movement CTRL+cursor movement LEFT ARROW Left one unit. Left one proportionally larger unit. RIGHT ARROW Right one unit. Right one proportionally larger unit. UP ARROW Up one unit or line. Up one proportionally larger unit. DOWN ARROW Down one unit or line. Down one proportionally larger unit. HOME To the beginning of the line. To the beginning of the data (topmost position). END To the end of the line. To the end of the data (bottommost position). PAGE UP Up one screen (previous screen, same position).1 Left one screen (or previous unit, if left is not meaningful). PAGE DOWN Down one screen (next screen, same position).1 Right one screen (or next unit, if right is not meaningful). TAB2 Next field. To next tab position (in property sheets, next page). 1 "Screen" is defined as the height of the visible area being viewed. When scrolling, leave a nominal portion of the previous screen to provide context. For example in text, PAGE DOWN includes the last line of the previous screen as its first line. 2 Using the SHIFT key with the TAB key navigates in the reverse direction. Table B.2 lists the common shortcut keys. Avoid assigning these keys to functions other than those listed. Table B.2 Common Shortcut Keys Key Meaning CTRL+C (1) Copy CTRL+O Open CTRL+P Print CTRL+S Save CTRL+V (1) Paste CTRL+X (1) Cut CTRL+Z (1) Undo F1 Display contextual Help window. SHIFT+F1 Activate context-sensitive Help mode (What's This?). SHIFT+F10 Display pop-up menu. SPACEBAR (2) Select (same as mouse button 1 click). ESC Cancel ALT Activate or inactivate menu bar mode. ALT+TAB (3) Display next primary window (or application). ALT+ESC (3) Display next window. ALT+SPACEBAR Display pop-up menu for the window. ALT+HYPHEN Display pop-up menu for the active child window (MDI). ALT+ENTER Display property sheet for current selection. ALT+F4 Close active window. ALT+F6 (3) Switch to next window within application (between modeless secondary windows and their primary window). ALT+PRINT SCREEN Capture active window image to the Clipboard. PRINT SCREEN Capture desktop image to the Clipboard. CTRL+ESC Access Start button in taskbar. CTRL+F6 Display next child window (MDI). CTRL+TAB Display next tabbed page or child window (MDI). CTRL+ALT+DEL Reserved for system use. 1 The system still supports shortcut assignments available in earlier versions of Microsoft Windows (ALT+BACKSPACE, SHIFT+INSERT, CTRL+INSERT, SHIFT+DELETE). You should consider supporting them (though not documenting them) to support the transition of users. 2 If the context (for example, a text box) uses the SPACEBAR for entering a space character, you can use CTRL+SPACEBAR. If that is also defined by the context, define your own key. 3 Using the SHIFT key with this key combination navigates in the reverse direction. Table B.3 lists shortcut key assignments for keyboards supporting the new Windows keys. The Left Windows key and Right Windows key are handled the same. All Windows key combinations, whether currently assigned or not, are strictly reserved for definition by the system only. Do not use this key for your own application-defined functions. Table B.3 Windows Keys Key Meaning APPLICATION key Display pop-up menu for the selected object. WINDOWS key Display Start button menu. WINDOWS+F1 Display Help Topics browser dialog box for the main Windows Help file. WINDOWS+TAB Activate next application window. WINDOWS+E Explore My Computer. WINDOWS+F Find a file. WINDOWS+CTRL+F Find a computer. WINDOWS+M Minimize All. SHIFT+WINDOWS+M Undo Minimize All. WINDOWS+R Display Run dialog box. WINDOWS+BREAK Reserved system function. WINDOWS+number Reserved for computer manufacturer use. Table B.4 lists the key combinations and sequences the system uses to support accessibility. Support for these options is set by users with the Windows Accessibility Options. Table B.4 Accessibility Keys Key Meaning LEFT ALT+LEFT SHIFT+NUM LOCK Toggle MouseKeys SHIFT (pressed five consecutive times) Toggle StickyKeys RIGHT SHIFT (held eight or more seconds) Toggle FilterKeys (SlowKeys, RepeatKeys, and BounceKeys) NUM LOCK (held five or more seconds ) Toggle ToggleKeys Table B.5 lists the recommended access key assignments for common commands. While the context of a command may affect specific assignments, you should use these access keys when you including these commands in your menus and command buttons.
