Keyboard shortcuts

Qt has a list of ‘standard’ keyboard shortcuts which can be used for inspiration.

  • F2: edit current value in-place

  • Alt+F2: open separate editor (e.g. Parameter value editor)

  • F3: search

  • Alt+F4: quit, close without saving changes

  • Esc: close, exit without saving changes

  • Ctrl+Enter: accept dialog

Action names

  • Edit… should open an external editor, e.g. Parameter value editor in Database editor.
