Menu Numonics

[ashwken]

Not sure if that's the right term (numonics)...

From any Item in the Data Explorer, Alt-Insert to expose the Templates available to insert as a child. The first letter of each Template name becomes a hot-key to select/insert, or if more than one Template begins with the same letter (Task, Text) pressing that letter will place the selector at the first instance of the letter in the list.

If you prefix a Template Name with a number, 1 - Template Name, this Template will sort to the top of the list and pressing the appropiate number will insert the selected Template. But only if you use the number keys from the keyboard, using the number keypad (NumLock = On) will not make a selection.

Is this the proper behavoir?

If you prefix a Template Name with a number, 1 - Template Name, this Template will sort to the top of the listIt will actually sort in the order of the templates (by default, the children of Templates are sorted, but they can be moved up and down to order differently).

and pressing the appropiate number will insert the selected Template. But only if you use the number keys from the keyboard, using the number keypad (NumLock = On) will not make a selection.

Is this the proper behavoir? It works with the regular and numeric keypad (with NumLock on) number keys in my tests. Is there anything special about your keyboard/driver or other resident software that could be interfering with normal behavior?

Yes, like the Keanu Reeves character Johnny Mnemonics.

See this thread:

As far as interference, nothing that I can think of, the Number Keypad works as expected during data entry (in UR and other programs) - both here at work and at home (where I first noticed the behavior).

Not really running anything strange or exotic (on either system) that I can think of.
