Process Name |
An available process for which you can set a keyboard shortcut to start it. |
|
Add Shortcut |
Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut to start the corresponding process. |
|
Pause/Resume |
Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut which pauses or resumes the execution of the currently running process. |
|
Stop |
Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut which stops the currently running process. |
There are a few things to consider when you configure processes keyboard shortcuts:
- You can use up to three different modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) and any other keyboard button. Examples: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P, Ctrl + Alt + P, Shift + P. Please note that the FN key modifier is not supported.
- Your character combination can contain numpad buttons, such as Ctrl + Alt + Num3. Note that using the numerical equivalent instead of the assigned numpad button does not work.
- If your character combination contains a numerical value, its numpad equivalent does not work. For instance, using Ctrl + Alt + Num3 instead of Ctrl + Alt + 3.
- You can use function key from F1 to F11. Please note that F12 is not supported because it is a Windows global keyboard shortcut.
- You can not use a global keyboard shortcut which is already in use by a different application.
- If a third-party running application uses the same keyboard shortcut but is not global, the Robot keyboard shortcut is taken into consideration.
- Global keyboard shortcuts can be registered and used by Robots installed on virtual environments.
- If the same keyboard shortcut is used by the Unblock options the Block User Input activity and the Robot, it unblocks the user input when first pressed, and either pauses/resumes, or stops the process the next time it is pressed.
-
You first need to start a process before you can use assigned global keyboard shortcuts.
