When you use the keyboard to start a process, you press a certain sequence of keys. You must know the keystrokes that open the function that you want. If your navigation bar is open and is set up to display shortcuts, you can see the keystrokes listed there. (However, the navigation bar does not have to be open for you to use the shortcuts.) The drop-down menus on the menu bar also display several keyboard shortcuts.
Your security settings may give you the rights to edit or create a shortcut. (For more information, see the Launcher Configuration Guide.)
You can use the keyboard in these ways:
• | Lead-in keys. A lead-in key focuses the cursor on a certain set of tasks from which you can choose. The F9 key focuses the cursor on the navigation bar, so that your next keystroke moves you through the folders of the navigation bar to find the process that you want to start. You can use arrow keys, the first letter of the process that you want, or choose Find from the Edit menu to move to the process. |
• | User-defined keyboard shortcuts. You can create shortcuts that start Horizon processes when you customize the Launcher. For more information, see the Launcher Configuration Guide. |
• | Press Alt+W. This activates the Window drop-down menu. Then type the number of the open window or record that you want to make active. |
Pressing ALT plus any underlined letter in the menu bar activates the drop-down menu for that menu option.
• | Press Ctrl+F6. This cycles through the open windows. |
