HOT KEYS

Is there any way to set up a "hot key", for example Ctrl-Z, to activate a command button?  That would be really helpful.

Yes.

Label the button with an ampersand ("&") in front of the letter that you would like used as the hotkey:

"&Zillo"

Be sure to name it just: "Zillo", without the ampersand.

That will cause ALT-Z to be the hotkey for the "Zillo" button. Be careful in your selection of hotkeys though. Sesame uses quite a few of them in it own interface. You can see them in the menus, in that the hotkey character is underlined.

So, if I understand correctly, if I have a command button named "GotoPOReview", with a label of "PO Review", I need to change the label to &GotoPOReview" and the hot key will be ALT-G.

Or, I can change the name to match the label.

Is that right?

That is basically it.

But, no - do not have the name match the label. The ampersand is probably not legal in an LE name. Even if it is "legal", it will cause problems in SDesigner anywhere that the LE name appears on menus or selection lists.

You're not limited to using just the first letter of the label as the hotkey. You can also use things like "Z&illo", which would make the hotkey combination "Alt-I".
