Updated Hotkeys for APEX 4.1

I finally got around to updating the hotkeys userscript for Application Express 4.1. There were some changes in the APEX Builder html that made an update necessary.

I have to say, that after I started using shortcut keys in the builder I never looked back. These days I get confused when developing in a browser where the script is not installed.

The script can be downloaded here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/115495

Just click the big green Install-button, and you can start using it. The script is tested with Google Chrome, but should work equally well with Firefox.

The keys are the same old:

  • F8: Run Page
  • F9: Apply Changes
  • Alt + F9: Clicks the highlighted button
  • Shift + F9: Cancel
  • Alt + PageDown: Next
  • Alt + PageUp: Previous
  • Ctrl + Shift + S: Shared Components
  • Ctrl + Shift + E: Edit Page
  • Ctrl + Shift + Z: Toggle return to page on/off


If you disagree with the key mapping; then change them! The source is there for the changing :-)

If there are any grievous errors, then do not hesitate to call...

The old hotkeys userscript for APEX 4.0 is still available here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/81058

    Hi, great to see you blogging about Apex again! I thought it was all about ADF for you these days... :-)

    I tried the userscript for Apex 4.0, and I'm sure it can save me a great deal of mouse clicks (especially the one for going to Shared Components).

    But I noticed that Ctrl + Shift + Z does not work on the "Edit Region" page. The checkbox there is called "F4000_P4651_STAY_0", not "RETURN_TO_PAGE" as referenced in the script (although that works on the "Edit Template" page, for example). I could probably fix/add this on my own, but it would be even better if you fix the "official" version.

    I am ashamed now... I had actually corrected the script locally, and forgot to update the version at userscripts.org. My bad :-(

    The updated version should work much better, but alas, I have no 4.0 version to test it on right now.

    PS: It IS all about ADF now, more on that later ;)

    Here are some suggestions for extra hotkeys:

    * Ctrl + Shift + B: Shared Components, Breadcrumbs
    * Ctrl + Shift + T: Shared Components, Templates
    * Ctrl + Shift + L: Shared Components, Lists
    * Ctrl + Shift + V: Shared Components, List of Values
    * Ctrl + Shift + X: Shared Components, Translation

    Again, I could probably fix/add this on my own, but it would be even better if you fix the "official" version (both for 4.0 and 4.1...).
