Stereotype hotkey / shortcut (alternate: menu ribbon shortcut)
« on: January 16, 2019, 02:33:45 am »
Hi folks,

I want to select elements out of my custom toolbox without using the mouse. Instead I want to select them by keyboard-shortcuts.
By pressing "ALT+5" the toolbox-menu opens, first step. Selecting single elements inside the toolbox-menu does not work. (I tried typing "&" in front of a InitialValue-attribute (example: InitalValue = &Activity)- the first letter following to the &-character ('A') is now underlined but not selectable by keyboard.

Is there a way to set hotkeys to Stereotypes (toolbox elements)? Any suggestions are welcome. :)

Regards MRrobot

There's no functionality for keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbox.

The fact that you're seeing underline from ampersand would be a bug.

Thanks for your answer, it would be a great accelerator to have this feature built into EA.

This is on the wish list since (IIRC) 2003.
