A shortcut to show an object

[iezhawe]

Is it possible, if I want to display the login form in a dialog using a shortcut / hotkey (example : Ctrl+F12) besides using a button / link?

There is no standard solution for this. This requires a custom script.
But I think it would be confusing for the user if each webpage had its own keyboard shortcuts.

Also, most shortcuts are already implemented in the browser

See the following url. But as Pablo mentions using this method could confuse the user. Also note that in general mobile devices don't have a alt /crtl key so implementing this could simply be pointless unless a button is also added.

Thank you for your answer
Yes I understand this method will be confusing if each page uses this.

I just want to have a secret key intended for the admin on one page (and only operated on the PC) that was only to display the login dialog box or to be applied to the various other needs.

Thank you Pablo and Baconfries who always give guidance and direction.

Paste the following jquery into an html object and set "Before </body>" in the object dropdown.

Code: Select all

<script>
$(document).keydown(function(event) {
    if (event.altKey && event.which === 65)
    {
        $('#indexDialog1').dialog('open');
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});
</script>

The keys are Alt + a and will bring up a dialog form.
