Topic: Quick keys not working [alt]+p etc in firefox; ok in chrome?

This is not strictly a FA problem, but if anyone can help it would be appreciated

Quick keys not working [alt]+p etc in firefox; but work perfectly in chrome?

Latest version, cleared caches X 10

In say 'Sales' pressing [alt]+p and repeatedly pressing p, you can see the on the screen the active menu item and in the bottom lefthand corner the URL changes correspondingly; which is as expected: When you release the [alt] key it hangs the software, clicking anywhere does not work, press [ctrl]+F5 clears the 'hang' but quick keys do not function.

Can anyone replicate this?

Re: Quick keys not working [alt]+p etc in firefox; ok in chrome?

Yes, Firefox even latest one too is in the same state. All ALT-[Key] combinations just choose the tab menu shortcuts if available and if not, choose the first available matching shortcut for the Key and does not allow cycling through all available matching shortcuts for the same Key.

On logging into FA, we are at the Sales Tab. If we type ALT-P, we go to the next tab, Purchases instead of cycling through the menu items on the current tab:

Invoice Prepaid Orders
Customer Payments
Sales Persons

The solution is to keep the ALT key depressed while repeatedly pressing the menu option Key till the one needed gets highlighted and then release the keys to go to that page.

Apmuthu, yes I'm doing that, but they do not work in Firefox: Chrome works perfectly.
