Keyboard shortcuts
You can use the keyboard shortcut keys to perform tasks in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
Keyboard shortcut keys include:
-
Underlined letter in a dialog field label
-
Underlined letter in a menu command
-
Extended accelerator key, such as ALT, CTRL, and SHIFT
-
Function keys F1 through F12
Dialogs
You can refer to the dialogs in Test UI to find the keyboard shortcuts. When you open a dialog, press the ALT key to display the underlined letter in a field label. Most field labels show the letter of the keyboard shortcut underlined. For example, D is the shortcut key for the Devices field label in the Connect to Device dialog. In Test UI, press the ALT key, and the shortcut key to execute a command. For example, open the Connect to Device dialog, press ALT to display the keyboard shortcuts in the dialog, and press ALT+D to move to the Devices field in the Connect to Device .
Menu commands
You can refer to the menus in Test UI to find the keyboard shortcuts. Most menu items show the equivalent keyboard shortcut to the right of the menu item or the letter of the keyboard shortcut underlined. For example, F is the shortcut key for the File menu. In Test UI, press the ALT key, and then press the shortcut key to execute a command. For example, press ALT+F to open the File menu on the menu bar.
