  Many hotkeys have been defined for frequently used functions in Bp Event.

  1. Go to the  Options tab on the function bar and click on  Hotkeys to see a list of all hotkeys.
     Note: Click in  Details for a list of all unavailable (assigned and locked) hotkeys.
     
  2. Click on  Add to define custom hotkeys.
     Note: Since very many abbreviations are already assigned, use the Alt Gr key+(letter) by preference.
  3. Double-click to change or deactivate hotkeys.
     Note: Hotkeys that cannot be changed are labelled as   locked.
  4. Confirm your input by clicking OK and  Save your input.
  5. Go to the  Options tab on the function bar and click on  Settings to enable the closing of windows by pressing the Esc key.
  6. Many other common hotkeys also work in Bp Event, such as using the Tab key to move between input fields or pressing Ctrl+S to save a record.
