Insert Text Shortcut Keys - *12​.1​.SP2*

Description

New shortcut keys have been added to the Insert Text form in Marine Drafting 12.1.SP2, for easier access to the previously entered texts.

When the text box has focus, pressing ALT + Up (or ALT + Down) will move focus to the history combo box containing the previously entered texts and scroll the combo box list one step up or down.

When the combo box has focus, the drop down list could be displayed by pressing the ALT + Down keys again.

To cycle through the history combo box items while keeping focus to the text box, press CONTROL + Up (or Control + Down).

As before, following standard Windows behaviour, focus can be moved with the TAB key (SHIFT + TAB to move focus backwards), and the combo box can also get focus by using the mouse.

Benefits

The new shortcuts make it possible to move focus to the history combo box with fewer keyboard hits / mouse clicks.

Compatibility Constraints
