Access Keys on Forms [AX 2012]

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Access keys enable a user to open a menu item by pressing the ALT key plus a letter as a shortcut. For example, ALT+F opens the File menu.

Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically generates access keys by using the label assigned to the control. Access keys are rarely the same in two different languages.

Example

---

Form controls are shown in the following table.

Control	Label	Access key
A	AB	A
B	AB	B
C	AB	Control C is not assigned an access key because both A and B have been used.
D	BC	C
