If you prefer to use the keyboard when working in Horizon, you can start a process by pressing function keys and other shortcut keys.
If you or your system administrator has set up shortcut keys for a specific process in the navigation bar, you can start the process by pressing the F9 function key and the specific shortcut key for that process. (For instructions on adding a shortcut key for a process in the navigation bar, see “Setting Up Shortcut Keys to Open Processes” in the “Customizing the Navigation Bar” chapter of the Launcher Configuration Guide, or talk to your system administrator. For information on other types of shortcut keys, see Shortcut Keys.)
You do not need to have the navigation bar open to use the available shortcut keys. You can close the navigation bar and still use the shortcuts to start the processes.
If you do not have shortcut keys set up, you can search for the process in the navigation bar using a Find window.
If you have shortcut keys set up, but do not remember the shortcut for the process you want to start, you can view the shortcut in the Shortcut column of the Navigation bar:
If the navigation bar does not display the Shortcut column, you can display it by right-clicking anywhere on the navigation bar, and choosing Show Menu Shortcuts. If the shortcuts still do not display, close and reopen the navigation bar folder for the process whose shortcut you want to view.
