PDF XChange Forum

Hi,

Shortcuts (like CTRL+O and F1) are not working until a PDF is opened and you click once on the a page of the PDF.

It can be reproduced with the FullDemo project.
1. Start demo
2. Press CTRL+O
- Open dialog is not showing
3. Press F1
- https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe6/ , is not showing

4. Open a PDF (via the menu), and click one time on a page of the opened PDF
5. Press CTRL+O
- Open dialog will pop up
6. Press F1
- https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe6/ , will open in browser

Is there a work-around, so shortcuts will work immediately after starting the editor?

Adding this to the code, does not make any difference (shortcuts are allowed by default). Kind regards,
Jeroen

Hello vdd iqware,

Can you please try using the As discussed here:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... us#p106009
And see if that helps?

Hi Stefan,

No that is not an option. Because there is not a document open.

I want to open a document by pressing CTRL+O directly after a start the Demo. When the AxPXV_Control is still empty.
Or go to the Help-page by pressing F1.

Hello Jeroen,

Well then just focus the control itself. It does not have a focus on the start because it's just a component on a form and it should not catch all of the events from the start as there can be other controls.

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately that's not working either.
Even when I click inside the empty canvas (to be sure it has focus), shortcuts are not working.
There is no shortcut working until a document is opened.

Hello Jeroen,

Even when I click inside the empty canvas (to be sure it has focus), shortcuts are not working.

This is fixed now and will be available from the next major release (323) in a couple of weeks or so.

Cheers,
Alex
