Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use the keyboard shortcut keys to perform tasks in Functional Test.

The keyboard shortcut keys include:

Dialog Boxes

You can refer to the dialog boxes in Functional Tester to find the keyboard shortcuts. When you open a dialog box, press the Alt key to display the underlined letter in a field label. Most field labels show the letter of the keyboard shortcut underlined. For example, N is the shortcut key for the Project name field label in the Connect to a Functional Tester Project dialog box. In Functional Tester, press the Alt key, and the shortcut key to execute a command. For example, open the Connect to a Functional Tester Project dialog box, press ALT to display the keyboard shortcuts in the dialog box, and press ALT+P to move the insertion point to the Project name field in the Connect to a Functional Test Project dialog box.

Menu Commands

A menu item shows the equivalent keyboard shortcut to the right of the menu item or the letter of the keyboard shortcut underlined. For example, F is the shortcut key for the File menu. In Functional Tester, press the Alt key, and then press the shortcut key to execute a command. For example, press ALT+F to open the File menu on the menu bar.
