NWBC 5.0 - Escape Key to enter a t-code

[Former Member]

Hi,

in the SAP Logon GUI you can press the ESC key to automatically go to the t-code input field with your cursor.

Is this also possible in the NWBC 5.0 Client? I can't find a setting for this and with the standard setting it is not working that way.

Thanks and best regards

Hi Tim,

I didn't actually know you could do that in SAPGUI, thanks for teaching me something! Have you already seen the NWBC shortcut keys?

If you use CTRL+ALT+L you can change focus to the Quick Launch bar in the NWBC client.

Hope that helps,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your very helpful answer. I didn't know about the shortcuts before.

Pressing the ESC key to enter a t-code was a very good function in the SAP GUI. Unfortunately the ESC key is not working as shortcut key within the NWBC. So I used another combination than the default value and this is an acceptable solution for me.

Thanks and best reagards ,

Hi Danny,

you can configure your own shortcuts but the ESC key is not a valid key.

I changed it to ALT-A. For me it was an acceptable solution.

Thanks Tom! I have also tried with ALT-A but no luck, it remains CTRL-ALT-L... I have placed the following code in C:\ProgramData\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml: FocusSpeedBar A ALT Focus on Quick Launch/Search Bar What did I do wrong? Dannny

Hi Danny,

your parameter looks good. Did you restart the NWBC?
