InstallShield 2019 Express Edition
Keyboard shortcuts—also sometimes called hot keys—enable you to perform tasks quickly by pressing a combination of keys, such as CTRL+ALT+A, instead of using the mouse. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to your product’s shortcut so that end users can press the appropriate hot keys to launch the shortcut.
Caution • It is recommended that you avoid configuring keyboard shortcuts for your shortcuts because they may conflict with existing keyboard shortcuts on the target system.
To assign a keyboard shortcut to a shortcut in your project:
| 1. | In the View List under Configuring the Target System, click Shortcuts/Folders. |
| 2. | In the Shortcuts explorer, select the shortcut for which you are specifying a hot key. |
| 3. | In the Hot Key setting, click the ellipsis button (...). The Hot Key dialog box opens. |
| 4. | Press the keyboard shortcut that you want to use for this shortcut. |
| 5. | Click OK. |
In the Hot Key setting, InstallShield displays the appropriate decimal value that represents the combination of keys that you pressed.
For example, if your key combination is CTRL+ALT+A, InstallShield displays 1601 in this setting. This number is obtained by combining the hex value of CTRL (200) and the hex value of ALT (400) with the logical Or operator. Then, that number (600) is added to the hex value for the A key (41) and converted to a decimal value. In this example, the number that is converted to decimal is 641. After the conversion, it is 1601.
