Using Keyboard Shortcuts in Business Intelligence Development Studio

When you work in Business Intelligence Development Studio, you have access to all the shortcut keys for navigation that are provided by the Visual Studio and Windows environments. You can select from several standard keyboard mapping schemes, or customize the mapping scheme by adding or changing keyboard shortcuts. For more information about how to determine the current mapping scheme, or to change keyboard options in the Visual Studio environment, see Visual Studio Help, or press F1 in the Keyboard, Options Dialog box.

You can navigate through the windows in Business Intelligence Development Studio, or select and change options in dialog boxes, without using the mouse. For example, to view a list of the Active Tools Windows in Business Intelligence Development Studio and the Active Files in the current solution, press CTRL+TAB. You can then use the arrow keys to move between the Active Tools and Active Files, or to select a tool or file. For more information about how to navigate without using the mouse, see the topic "How to: Use the Keyboard Exclusively", in Visual Studio Help.

In addition, Business Intelligence Development Studio provides many shortcut menus for quick access to frequently used wizards and commands. Shortcut menus are dynamic and may contain different options, depending on the user configuration and the current objects. As you explore Business Intelligence Development Studio, make sure that you right-click objects to explore the menu options and learn about these shortcuts.

Tip

You can display the shortcut menu for the selected object or option by pressing SHIFT+F10.

For more information about common shortcut keys for the Visual Studio environment, see the topic, "Accessibility Tips and Tricks", in Visual Studio Help.
