Keyboard shortcuts - Add to Manual and Search

Post by Rickliftig » Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:55 am

In looking at old posts, I found CTRL-SHIFT-R brings up the referral screen. And of course, I know that CTRL-SHIFT-C brings up the contact list. So what otehr keyboard shortcuts am I missing? I'd like to see the documentation added in the manual and search list too.

Found that Ctrl + r opens the reports window. Many combinations open the referrals window but what I most want is to select patient from keyboard shortcut. I guess I'll just build an Autohotkey script to do the shortcuts for now and then post the results here.

I noticed a wierd "select" drag/movement in the notes actually highlights in yellow. Happens occasionally but I cant recreate it. Anybody know how to do it? It would be nice to yellow highlight specific parts of the notes.

OK I built a shortcut to open Patient Search. If someone wants to have a few shortcuts built, please post here and I'll do my best to script it for you. If you are already somewhat familiar with Autohotkey here is the pertinent part of the script.


;Hit Control + Shift +s to open the select patient dialog.
;Script also checks to see if OD is open and brings it to the front and maximizes it. If not open it just open the program.
;The coordinates of clicking is dependant on your resolution and works on all of our computers.
;You might need to update for your resolution.
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
^+s::
IfWinExist, Open Dental
{
WinActivate ; Automatically uses the window found above.
WinMaximize ; same
Click 75,55
return
}
else
{
run %A_ProgramFiles%\Open Dental\OpenDental.exe
return
}

Ctrl-Shift-R doesn't do anything for me.
Tried all the combinations on the keyboard and here are my results:
Ctrl-R opens Reports window
Alt -R also opens Reports window
Ctrl-Y opens Referrals for the selected Patient
Ctrl-[ & Ctrl-] & Ctrl-' & Ctrl-Alt-S & Ctrl-Alt-W, plus some other combinations also bring up Referrals for selected Patient
Alt-O Logs off
Ctrl-Shift-C opens Contact List
Ctrl-Shift-F opens Procedure List

OK I've put together an AutoHotKey script for generic use. http://pastebin.com/LzgXxZ68
If you are uninterested in the code and just want it to work, here is the compiled program.

After launching the program hit Ctrl + h to see all the shortcuts.

I re-shared the file for Maye at http://www.adrive.com/public/5fKqEP/Ope ... ortcut.exe. I'll have to find a more permanent solution for hosting the file later.
