Coding the guts of any FileMaker solution is the "easy" part. With immediate functionality so easily achieved, you can start using the solution right away - and enhance while in use. It's a FileMaker perk. However, it's the details and refinements which set your solution apart. The stuff that gives it that "comfortable" feel - which encourages its use.

This is the goal you should strive for.

When considering the time and effort it takes to add in even a little bit of keyboard functionality, this sometimes enters the picture as an after thought.

In this video, I provide a suite of custom functions and relevant suggestions to both quickly and easily implement some keyboard functionality into your solution. Whether wanting to use keys beyond what Custom Menus will accommodate, or creating a fully keyboard driven navigation system, this video will definitely get you started!
