Configuring the hotkeys
You can change the default key or key combinations associated with actions and configure your own hotkeys by writing a small amount of customized code. In JSF™ Faces (JSF)™ applications, you must set the hotkeys attribute of your View tag to your own hotkey values, as shown in the following code example.
<jvdf:diagrammerView ... ...
hotkeys="{singleSelect : {hotkey : IlvUtil.keys.SPACE},
zoomIn : {hotkey : [ IlvUtil.keys.NUMPAD_PLUS, IlvUtil.keys.EQUALS ],
filter : { ctrl : false, shift : true }
}
}">
...
</jvdf:diagrammerView>
In JavaScript™ applications, you must create the hotkeys object and then call the
setHotkeys method of the
View object as shown in the following code example.
var diagrammer = new IlvView(x, y, w, h);
...
...
diagrammer.setAccessible(true);
var hotkeys = {singleSelect : {hotkey : IlvUtil.keys.SPACE},
zoomIn : {hotkey : [ IlvUtil.keys.NUMPAD_PLUS, IlvUtil.keys.EQUALS ],
filter : { ctrl : false, shift : true }
}
};
diagrammer.setHotkeys(hotkeys);
The following table lists the actions you can customize.
Action | Description | Default key or key combination |
Up | Moves focus to the upper element in accordance with the navigation style. | Up Arrow |
Down | Moves focus to the lower element in accordance with the navigation style. | Down Arrow |
Left | Moves focus to the element on the left in accordance with the navigation style. | Left Arrow |
Right | Moves focus to the element on the right in accordance with the navigation style. | Right Arrow |
singleSelect | Selects the graphic element that has the current focus. | Enter |
zoomIn | Zooms in on an area of the view. | Ctrl+Plus (+) |
zoomOut | Zooms out of an area of the view. | Ctrl+Minus (-) |
panLeft | Pans the view to the left. | Ctrl+Left Arrow |
panRight | Pans the view to the right. | Ctrl+Right Arrow |
panUp | Pans the view up. | Ctrl+Up Arrow |
panDown | Pans the view down. | Ctrl+Down Arrow |
moveLeft | Moves the selected graph elements left. | Shift+Left Arrow |
moveRight | Moves the selected graph elements right. | Shift+Right Arrow |
moveUp | Moves the selected graph elements up. | Shift+Up Arrow |
moveDown | Moves the selected graph elements down. | Shift+Down Arrow |
The following code example shows an object that defines the keys and corresponding keycodes that you can use for hotkeys in JViews web applications.
