BizTalk Editor Keyboard Shortcuts

As in any standard Microsoft Windows application, you can use keyboard shortcuts in BizTalk Editor to access commands that are 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+Z, I, F means that you must first type ALT+Z, but then can type I and F without holding down the ALT key.
