Keyboard Shortcuts

Several operations in AutoGrid Pro can be accessed quickly from the keyboard. This topic
summarizes the most important keyboard shortcuts available in the program.

Access Keys
First, many menu items and data entry fields have an associated access key. The access key is
underlined in the item’s caption and must be typed while the Alt key is held down. Several
access keys may be typed in succession to access deeper items.

Menu Shortcut Keys

In addition, menu items are often associated with a shortcut key. Menu shortcut keys, which
are often used in combination with the Ctrl key, are indicated to the right of the caption of the
corresponding menu item

List of Keyboard Shortcuts

It is relatively easy to remember access keys and menu shortcut keys since it is always possible
to go to the corresponding menu item or data entry field to verify what it is. For this reason,
only a few of those shortcuts will be listed here. Several other features that are available
through the keyboard have no visual interface correspondence, however. These will be listed in
full.
