ARS 7.0.1 I was not able to get the "Alt-M, 1 option to work.
I am looking for a way for users to press a key combination that can be detected by the Windows User Tool and trigger an active link. Specifically, I would like to be able to press something like Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Enter on a *Display Only* form as an option to clicking a Save or Update button.

Robsma, I believe you can accomplish this through the use of custom menus. All items in a menu must have a unique letter which you may quickly run out of if you have gobs of these triggered workflow bits. In any case, I believe you just need to place an ampersand (& sign) in front of the character you'd like to be underscored and driven from the keyboard. Note, assuming you use a menu called Menu and have items under it called Action1 (underscoring the 1) and Action 2 (underscoring the 2) this gives you a key combination like Alt-M, 1 or Alt-M, 2. This isn't exactly a single key combination but it might solve your problem.

I have workflow that is triggered off of a button click. But some power users (those who want to keep both hands on the keyboard) want that same workflow to be triggered off of a keyboard shortcut. For example, if they key cntrl+alt+q they want the same active link to fire as if they had clicked a button on the form. Apparently this functionality isn't available in Remedy. It certainly isn't available on the Basic tab when I create an Active link. My question is, is there anyone out there who has customized their installation to allow this sort of thing? Or, can anyone think of a way to do this? Excuse me if this is a duplicate post. I thought I had already posted it but cannot find it in the archives.
