shift+enter shortcut

Post by akyra »

hi to everyone!
i'm a new user of this great software, but i've got an issue with it. I'm using the 1.6 version.
I need to use the "shift+enter" shortcut to open MS Access files (it's very quick!), but if i press those buttons to open those files, the xplorer shows me a pop-up window telling me that i have the lite version, and i need to upgrade to pro version if i want to use that shortcut.
So, i need a hint  to bypass xplorer's handling of "shift+enter" shortcut, thus i can use it in normal way.
Thanks for any suggestions!

shift+enter is a keyboard shortcut in x2 for "browse flat", a command missing from the lite version, hence the dialog
why don't you just press <enter> to open those files?

first of all, thanks for your answer!
I know that this shortcut is not handled by xplorer lite version, but i need it because i build many MS Acsess databases. The "shift+enter" combination is useful because it lets you open Ms Access databases in administrative mode quickly. I use much more keyboard then mouse, so i would like to know if there is a way to make MS Windows handle that shortcut instead of xplorer...

there's no way to disable this unless you edit the program resources with eg resource hacker

Opening MS Access DB's with Shift+Open

Post by Mr. Jiggs »

I have the Pro version of Xplorer²
I create lots of MS Access DB's for my users and I usually open them via Windoze Explorer with the Shift+Enter key-combo, as this skips past the start-up options that I've programmed into the DB's.
How can I enable this functionality ?

if you have the pro version you can use customize keyboard menu command to remove shift+enter from the list of shortcuts for this browse flat command. That should do it

Shift+Enter

Excellent !
I'm new to Xplorer² and hadn't found that.
I searched for Shift+Enter in the help and FAQ's and found nothing.
Maybe default settings could be added to the help.

thanks for the speedy response!

Probably because the key is listed as SHFT (not shift). Also, there are no spaces in any shortcuts. So if you search for shft + Enter, you will not get anything.
