Keyboard Shortcuts

Post by doctormaligno »

Salut,

I've been using the search feature and also the help within AMC but couldn't find an answer to my need. I was wondering if there are keyboard shortcuts, apart from the F?? commands (which are very useful, by the way).

For instance, when i want to modify several fields (but not with the same change) it would be very useful and time saving having a shortcut to go to the next film in the list, without having to move the hands away from the keyboard to grab the mouse. A lot of time would be saved this way.

So, are they any shortcuts that I'm not finding? I hope that's the case :)

This software is brilliant, I've been using it for years. Thanks a lot guys for it and for your amazing work. Really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Merci beaucoup !

Hi,
The one you ask exists: if I remember well, by default it is Ctrl+PageUp/Down ; it can be changed in Tools->Preferences->Movie List.
I think that all other keyboard shortcuts are visible in the menus.

Thank you very much. I've been through the preferences a hundred times and didn't realize :-O

Hi,
Not directly related to initial question, but usefull for people who are looking for Keyboard Shortcuts like I was.
You can use the Alt + 'underlined letter' go get a direct access to the identified field.
Per antp great help, you can even add an underlined letter to the label if it does not exist yet.
"Go in the Languages folder, open with notepad the translation file (.lng) corresponding to the language you use, search for example the line:
LBorrower.Caption=Borrower:
If you change that line to LBorrower.Caption=&Borrower:
the B will be underlined and the shortcut Alt+B will bring you to that field.
Note that if you use English, you will have to switch to "English for translations" (in Tools->Language)"
.
If you add underline letter, I'm assuming you will check first if letter is not already assigned...
