BizTalk Mapper Keyboard Shortcuts

As in any standard Microsoft Windows application, you can use keyboard shortcuts in BizTalk Mapper to access commands otherwise available by using menus. The following table describes the available keyboard shortcuts.

Note

Comma-separated key combinations denote a sequence that must be typed. For example, "CTRL+I, CTRL+R" means that you must first type CTRL+I and then you must type CTRL+R. A key combination such as "ALT+B, I, F" means that you must first type ALT+B, but then can type "I" and "F" without holding down the ALT key.

Important

For the keyboard shorts to work properly, the desired item must be selected and in focus.
