KEY attribute

The KEY attribute is used to define the labels of keys when the field is made current.

Syntax

KEY keyname = [%]"label"
  1. keyname is the name of a key ( like F10, "Control-z" ).
  2. label is the text to be displayed in the button corresponding to the key.

Usage

Use the KEY attribute to define a label for the accelerator key corresponding to an action when the focus is in the field.

The keyname must be specified in quotes if you want to use Control / Shift / Alt key modifiers.

See the KEYS section to define key labels for the whole form.

Note: This feature is supported for backward compatibility. Consider using action attributes to define accelerator keys and decorate actions.

Example

EDIT f001 = customer.city, KEY F10 = "City list";
EDIT f002 = customer.state, KEY "Control-z" = "Open Zoom";
