Hi,

I was reading the list of tryton shortcuts and it works perfect, now I’m curios about how to create custom shortcut or shortcut to activate buttons (for example, in sales, Confirm, Process, and so on).

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I tried it and works, you could select the action from the drop list. But I wish something more specific, create, for example Ctrl + P for print a report.

Control + P opens the the report list and you can select the one you want to print from there.

I meant to create a shortcut with F4, F5 or customize the keys to custom actions.

Could you tell me where you found it?

Press `F1` the _universal help key_ 🙂

Does that still apply? - When I press ‘ctrl-e’ in my 6.0 in Linux, the “propeller” entries list do open. Is there another way to apply shortcuts?

To me, it seems that the method mentioned above does not longer work. A working, but limited method - editing accel.map - is described [here.](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/gtk-client-assign-keyboard-shortcut/3077)

Unluckily, it only seems to apply to the “form” section. Now I’d like to change

- present “ctrl-k” to “ctrl-l” and
- present “ctrl-tab” to “ctrl-pgdn”
- present “ctrl-shift-tab” to “ctrl-pgup”

to make tryton behave more like browsers when dealing with tabs and the top text box. Is there a method to do that without coding?

Cheers,  
Wolf
