Menu speed keys in record and table views

[Steven Kang]

After switching to record or table view, the menu speed keys stop working. I assume the code needs to place the focus in the first field after changing view for this to work. Might also need to do similar (firstfocusablecontrol?when switching back to form view. S.

Hi Steven,

I am pretty sure that Ctrl+S for example works in all three view modes. Can you give me some concrete examples?

The problem is more with the Alt + Key combinations and it turns out to be
an issue even in formview.

1. Load the checkin.sxf form in Personal but do not use the mouse to place
focus on the form nor on the menu bar.
—
2. Pressing the Alt key will cause the the menu bar items to display the
speedkey letter underscore characters but Alt+F etc will not cause the
respective menu (e.g. File menu) to open (drop down). Nor will Alt+N cause
the "Notes" push button to fire nor Alt+S select the "Smoker" checkbox.
Once focus has been placed on a menu bar item or on a form control with
the mouse, then the Alt+Key combinations work as they should.
—
3. Ctrl+R and Ctrl+T will switch to record and table views but the
Alt+MenuKey combinations will not work unless focus is first placed in a
record or table field using the mouse.
—
4. Ctrl+F will switch back to formview but the user still cannot drop down
the file menus using the Alt+Key combinations. However, Alt+N and Alt+S
will now work after switching back to form view even if no formcontrol
appears to have the focus.
—
5. The Addressbook and SB Air applications display the same (mis)behaviour.
—
If these are not bugs, but require some workaround, then that should be
demonstrated in the Addressbook and SB Air applications, both in
Auto-Locking and Explicit-Locking modes as I suspect the workaround will
not be very obvous to most people (especially in explicit-locking mode).
