Hello,

I am having requirement to attach keyboard function keys to button press event. for eg. button X should get clicked on pressing function key F5

How we can achieve this in SAPUI5? Kindly let me know.

I think you could use a jQuery library like hotkeys to bind to the function key browser event, or use the UI5 onKeydown event on the control and then use the fireEvent method trigger the press event on the button?

Write this following code in your onInit() method:

Here we are handling the keypress event on Control + S key combination.

$(document).keydown(function(evt){
   if (evt.keyCode==83 && (evt.ctrlKey)){
       evt.preventDefault();
       alert('worked');
   }
});
