ABAP workbench shortcut key :: T-code input

Does anyone know the shortcut key for Transaction code input field?
I mean something like "Alt+D" for IE browser.

hi David,
            please check the following inf. this could be helpful for the question u have asked.
You can use an input field to enter and edit text. It consists of a field name and the field data.
Use
When the input field has the focus [External], you can enter text and numerical data using the keyboard.
Access
Sequential element navigation works for input fields, which means you can move the focus [External] forwards to an input field using [Tab] or backwards using [Shift]+[Tab]. You may need to press [F2] to start the text editing process. If an underlying function exists, you can start it by pressing [F2] – this corresponds to a double click with the left mouse button.
Help Functions
When the input field has the focus [External], you can call up the help documentation for this field by choosing [F1]. If the input field has a tool tip, you can call it up by choosing [Ctrl][q]. You can open the context menu of the focused input field by choosing the [ContextMenu] key or [Shift][F10]. In more complex applications, the F4 help opens up a dialog box and provides selection options. If there is an F4 help, this is indicated by a small icon to the right
Keyboard Usage for Interface Elements in SAP GUI for Windows NetWeaver'04 13
SAP Online Help 10.07.2006
of the input field, which appears as soon as the focus moves to the field. To call up a history list and choose one of your previous entries, choose [Backspace] when the text cursor is at the first position in the field.
The system only displays tool tips and history lists if the settings under Options allow this. To call up the options dialog box, choose [Alt]+[F12] and the appropriate character key.
Internal Navigation
You can move the text cursor between characters using the right and left arrow keys within the input fields. Use [Ctrl][Left] or [Ctrl][Right] to go to the next or previous word. Use the keys [Home] and [End] to position the cursor before the first or after the last word or character in the field.
Select
To select characters in an input field, you can use [Shift] with the right and left arrow keys. To select the word before or after the text cursor, choose [Ctrl]+[Shift] with the left or right arrow key.
Manipulation
You can use the clipboard to copy or cut selected characters. Choose [Ctrl][c] or [Ctrl][x] to do this. You can paste them elsewhere by choosing [Ctrl][v]. You can undo your last action by pressing [Ctrl][z]. When editing text, you can use the [Delete] key to delete the character to the right of the cursor and the [Backspace] key to delete the character to the left of the cursor.
When entering data, you can toggle between the insert mode and the overwrite mode by pressing the [Insert] key. When you are in the insert mode, any data to the right of the cursor moves to the right when you type. The insert mode is the default mode in the standard system. In the overwrite mode you overtype any data to the right of the cursor.
Exit
To finish editing, choose [Tab] or [Enter] to leave the input field and accept the changes made. To finish editing and undo the changes made, choose [Escape].

  • Shortcut keys for code completion

    Hi!
    I just wondered what keys are used to make use of the code completion functionality
    (I'm used to MS products where ctrl+space or ctrl+j often is used).
    Thanks, Thomas

    I don't think there is a public document available for planned new 9.0
    features.
    Code reformatting will be in 9.0, and will of course also apply to
    auto-generated code as it's inserted.
    If you have other features you'd like to see, please post them on this
    newsgroup.

    Thomas,
    Code completion in Workshop can be done by adding a period (".") in
    front of
    the object variable.
    For example,
    HelloWorld h = new HelloWorld();
    h.
    As soon as you type the '.' in front of 'h'. it shows a dropdown list
    of all
    the public methods exposed in HelloWorld class.

  • IDES ABAP Workbench and access key

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to SAP, please Help.
    1. How i can use OSS ID.
    2. I installed 4.6B IDES, but ABAP - Workbench is not
       accessable.
    3. How i can get Access Key for ABAP Workbench.
    Thanks in Advance
    Shareef

    Hi,
    If you have OSS ID, you can use it to logon to service.sap.com where you have all kinds of support and help services available. That is where you use it.
    ABAP workbench will be accessible if you have authorization. I think you mean to say you are not able to create/change objects. For this you will have to register your userid as developer (again at service.sap.com) and that will give you the developer access key that you can then use.
    If you are changing any SAP object, you will need to get the corresponding key from OSS.
    If you do not have OSS logon, then you can forget about it (well, not strictly so, but that is the official 'truth'.).
    cheers,
    Ajay

  • Short keys in the ABAP Workbench and windows short keys

    Hello,
    you trigger functions in the ABAP Workbench you can use short keys, ex. F8 for starting a report. But some of the short keys are already given for some window functions. So you can't use them in the ABAP workbench. Is there a possibility to assign new short keys to certain functions in the ABAP workbench or turn the windows short keys off, so that these short keys can be used for the ABAP workbench. Thanks.
    Regards, Lars.

    Not that I'm aware of.

    2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
    SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
    3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
    In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
    4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
    5. How do you get output from IDOC?
    Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
    6. When top of the page event is triggered?

    7. Can we create field without data element and how?
    In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
    8. How do we debug sapscript?
    Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
    9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
    TCode AL21.
    10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
    Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
    Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.
    1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
    Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
    In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
    2. When to use logical database?
    Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
    less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
    Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
    3. What is the use of 'table index'?
    Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
    4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
    Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
    If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
    Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
    5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
    Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
    6. What are table buffers?
    Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
    directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
    Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

    Deepti
    1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
    2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
    Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
    8. to release an object - use se10/se9
    9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
    12. Delivery - invoice.
    15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
    Kishore
    1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
    2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
    3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
    4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
    methods for enhancement.
    14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
    is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
    15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
    the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
    Venu Rapolu
    1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
    2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
    values., and append will simply adds the record
    3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
    The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
    The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
    6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
    Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
    7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
    8. Ans: se09 or se10
    13. Ans: MATMAS
    CREMAS
    DEBMAS
    GLMAST etc...
    14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
    15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
    Satish D
    1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
    2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
    append will append record at the end of table
    3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
    transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
    4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
    5. go to system then status
    6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
    inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
    7. no we have to configur that
    8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
    and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
    9. inquiry
    quotation
    sales order
    shipping
    delivery
    invoice
    return goods
    12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
    13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
    Deepti
    I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
    1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
    2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
    matches to your selection criteria.
    3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
    4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
    5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
    6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
    10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
    14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
    15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
    Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
    Questions which I have faced in an interview:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
    6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
    Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
    7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
    13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    15) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    17) What is pf-status?
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    Go thru these answers:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
    - Negative testing
    - Positive testing
    In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
    In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
    Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
    - Message type
    - Message id
    - Message Number
    - Variable1
    - Variable2
    - Variable3
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
    Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
    Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
    13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    14) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
    Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
    Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
    17) What is pf-status?
    Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).

    SAP ABAP interview questions
    Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
    1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
    2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
    3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
    4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
    5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
    6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
    7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
    8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into “sessions”.
    9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
    10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
    11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
    12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
    13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
    14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
    15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
    17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
    18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
    19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
    21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
    22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
    23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I’ve never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

  • Shortcut Keys in MI

    Hi Friends,
    I want to know whether we can use shortcut keys in MI
    I have a requirment like if the user wants to go from one screen to other like next button or back button then on the event of clicking one button can we achieve this in MI and if yes how it can be done if we are using JAVA / ABAP Webdynpro applications
    Regards
    JM

    Hello,
    Applications in MI are either written in Java AWT (native) or Java JSP (web page). Both paradigme let's you capture key input.
    So yes, in MI you can have shortcut keys, but you have to code them yourself. You can contact me if you need to know specifically how.
    I hope this answers your question,

  • Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

    I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need.  I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing.  Is this a known issue?
    Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

    Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
    For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

  • Shortcut Key in JInternalFrame

    Hi,
    I have an application that has multiple JInternalFrames displayed within split panes. I am trying to set shortcut keys to cycle through the visible JInternalFrame. I have a Menu Item oCycleWindows, on which I called setAccelerator() with Ctrl+Shift+M. In th emenu handler for this item, I have defined a function that checks the current focussed internal frame, and accordingly picks the next one to get the focus.
    My problem is as follows: on clicking Ctrl+Shift+M, I am able to see that the next window has focus (the title bar color changes), but when I use the up/down keys to navigate within the newly focussed window, actually the navigation happens in the previous window....
    I have a tree view at the left, and two views at the right, and going from the tree view to any of the right views sometimes works correctly, sometimes doesn't (in fact i believe this happens every alternate time I shift to the non-tree view). Here, I have tables in the right views, and I try to select different rows using up/down keys once the right view has the focus, but the navigation occurs in the Tree view, with previous/next node getting selected instead!
    The funniest part is, the problem isn't there if the shortcut defined is 'F6', but for any other shortcut (F12, F11, Ctrl+M, Ctrl+Shift+M, Ctrl+K, CTrl+Shift+K etc.) this problem is seen.
    Does anyone have ANY idea why this happens? I tried to look up the bugs DB, but couldn't find anything specific to this...
    Sample Code:
    JMenuItem oCycWin = new JMenuItem("Cycle Windows");
    oCycWin.setMnemonic('C');
    oCycWin.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_M, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK | ActionEvent.SHIFT_MASK, true));
    //oCycWin.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F6, 0, true));
    oCycWin.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          /* oCurWin is a JInternalFrame object (extended class) that tracks the
             current focussed window
          if(oCurWin.ID == 1)
            oCurWin.ID = 2;
          else if(oCurWin.ID == 2)
            oCurWin.ID = 3;
          else
            oCurWin.ID = 1;
          oCurWin.setVisible(true);
          try
         oCurWin.setSelected(true);
          catch(java.beans.PropertyVetoException e)
         System.out.println("Can select oCurWin");
    });This code works fine for accelerator set as F6, and when we shift to the tree view. But sometimes on shifting focus to any of the right views, with accelerator not F6, although the right view appears to be focussed due to change in title bar color, the navigation continues in the tree view.
    Thanks...
    Shefali

    Hi,
    have you tried requesting the focus on your newly selected internal frame ?

  • Multicamera keyboard shortcut keys stopped working

    PP 2014.0.1 release.
    My keyboard shortcut keys (standard: 0,1,2) were working, but they stopped working mid-edit. Restarting the application did not fix this. Mouse works - but what a crappy way to select a camera.
    Any suggestions?

    To answer my own question:
    I discovered that the Multicamera track in the timeline must be targeted (enabled in the track header in the timeline) or the keyboard shortcuts to select a camera do not work. (I don't know how my track became untargeted, but it did.)
    Although I understand how a keyboard shortcut will change the current clip in the multicamera sequence to the associated camera, the keyboard shortcut is strongly associated as input to the multicamera window, not the timeline. After all, I click on a camera view in the Multicamera program monitor to select that camera. I don't click in the timeline to do that. So It's not at all obvious that the multicamera track must be targeted for camera selection to work.
    I find it confusing.
    Do other users consider this a bug or good design?

  • How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

    Hi
    Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
    I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
    The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
    Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
    Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
    Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
    <script>
    document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
    function keyCheck(e){
         var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
         switch(KeyId){         
              case 113:
                   doSubmit('SAVE');
                   break;                    
              case 118:
                   alert('Hello');
                   break;
    </script>
    This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.

  • Interactive form using ABAP workbench

    Hi All,
    I have develped Print forms using ABAP workbench using SFP transaction.
    I am really confused with the terms Print forms and Interactive forms..
    Actually I was able to make my Print form which I have created using SFP transaction, Interactive by giving the appropriate form parameter(fillable).
    But I have read some SDN article in which it says that Interactive forms can only be created in Webdynpro environment..  (Either ABAP webdynpro or Java Webdynpro)..
    In the design time how we will know that the form is interactive or not?
    Please let me know ur thoughts on this..
    Regards,
    Sreejith A P

    HI Sree jith,
    At Design Time, we design a form using the Adobe Designer tool, which allows to to create forms with input fields etc, which can be filled by the user, if the runtime supports it.
    When you design a form via transaction SFP,y ou are essentially designing the form and adding the elements, but, whether the form would be interective or not would be defined by the run time environment.
    If you add an input field to the form, and execute it via an ABAP report, then the form would not be inteactive but, if you use the same form in WebDynpro, then the form could be interactive.
    Designing the form via SFP or via the WebDynpro Interactive form element, both, inherently call the Adobe Designer, but executing the form via WebDynpro Environment would supoprt its interactove nature whereas via an ABAP report, it would not, although the tool allowed you to add the UI element.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Siddhartha
