When assigning a hot key to a menu or a button, use the following string format:
The modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift) are optional and zero to three modifiers can be used. The value n is required as the last value and can be any of the following keys:
- Alpha numeric characters: a-z, 0-9
- Punctuation keys in the string
- ; (semi-colon)
- , (comma)
- . (period)
- / (forward slash)
- \ (back slash)
- ' (single quote)
- [] (open and close brackets)
- - (hyphen)
- = (equals sign)
- ` (back tick)
- Function keys: F1-F15
- Special keys: enter, esc, tab, del, space, backspace, up, down, left, right, insert, home, end, pgup, pgdn
 | Use lowercase when typing hot key values in JavaScript code or in properties. For example, ctrl+alt+b. |
Hot Key Examples:
- ctrl+shift+enter
- ctrl+6
- ctrl+alt+s
- ctrl+,
| Although hot keys can be reused in your application, don't reuse them within the same scope. For example, don't reuse the same hot key in the same dialog. |
| Some hot keys could be problematic. For example, if the hot key for a button is b or shift+b and the end user is typing b or a capital B (shift+b) in a text field, the button is activated instead. Choose your hot keys carefully. |
