Hi Gustav Lindstrom, I will explain,how it can be done custom short cut keys . Step 1: Create file record.js in below path custom/modules/{module-name}/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js ex. custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js Then copy content from clients/base/layouts/record/record.js and paste it to this file. Then add our shortcut name at end of this file ( bold values are our shortcut key name) custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/layouts/record/record.js ({plugins:['ShortcutSession'],shortcuts:['Sidebar:Toggle','Record:Edit','Record:Delete','Record:Save','Record:Cancel','Record:Previous','Record:Next','Record:Favorite','Record:Follow','Record:Copy','Record:Action:More',' Record:Test' ]}) Then save this file Step 2: custom/module/{module-name}/clients/base/views/record/record.js ex custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/record/record.js In this file override registerShortcuts() function and add our functionality for shortcut key. Example: Here i am trying click flow button by shortcut key ( f and ctrl+alt+f). Here is the file ({ extendsFrom:'RecordView', initialize:function(options){ this._super('initialize',[options]); this.events=_.extend({},this.events,{ 'click a[name=test_button]':'_testAlert', }); }, _testAlert:function(){ app.alert.show('Validate', { level : 'info', messages : 'SugarCRM info message', autoClose : false, }); }, registerShortcuts: function() { app.shortcuts.register('Record:Test', ['t', 'ctrl+alt+t'], function() { //here Record:Test this.$('.headerpane [data-toggle=dropdown]:visible').click().blur(); this.$('.headerpane [name=test_button]:visible').click(); //clicking the button }, this); this._super('registerShortcuts'); //calling super function }, }) From above example Record:Test - name of shortcut key and view ( this should match with which we added in layout/record.js) 't', 'ctrl+alt+t' - shortcut key name=test_button - this is my button.Note my button will come in more action in record view. Done. Then make quick repair and rebuild.Done Have a look at Creating custom keyboard shortcuts in sugarcrm Thanks!.
