Register Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

Hi Gustav Lindstrom,

I will explain,how it can be done custom short cut keys .

Step 1:

Create file record.js in below path

custom/modules/{module-name}/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js

ex.

custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js

Then copy content from

clients/base/layouts/record/record.js

and paste it to this file.

Then add our shortcut name at end of this file ( bold values are our shortcut key name)

custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js

({plugins:['ShortcutSession'],shortcuts:['Sidebar:Toggle','Record:Edit','Record:Delete','Record:Save','Record:Cancel','Record:Previous','Record:Next','Record:Favorite','Record:Follow','Record:Copy','Record:Action:More','Record:Test']})

Then save this file

Step 2:

custom/module/{module-name}/clients/base/views/record/record.js

ex

custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/record/record.js

In this file

override registerShortcuts() function and add our functionality for shortcut key.

Example:

Here i am trying click flow button by shortcut key ( f and ctrl+alt+f).

Here is the file

({   

    extendsFrom:'RecordView',

    initialize:function(options){

        this._super('initialize',[options]);       

        this.events=_.extend({},this.events,{           

             'click a[name=test_button]':'_testAlert',

        });

    },   

    _testAlert:function(){

        app.alert.show('Validate', {

                        level           : 'info',

                        messages        : 'SugarCRM info message',

                        autoClose       : false,

                    });

    },

    registerShortcuts: function() {

        app.shortcuts.register('Record:Test', ['t', 'ctrl+alt+t'], function() {   //here Record:Test

            this.$('.headerpane [data-toggle=dropdown]:visible').click().blur();

            this.$('.headerpane [name=test_button]:visible').click(); //clicking the button

           }, this);  

        this._super('registerShortcuts'); //calling super function

    },

})

From above example

Record:Test - name of shortcut key and view ( this should match with which we added in layout/record.js)

't', 'ctrl+alt+t' - shortcut key

name=test_button - this is my button.Note my button will come in more action in record view.

Done.

Then make quick repair and rebuild.Done
