Description

Using this widget, you can start an Action, like "Show a page" or "Call a Microflow",

by pressing a key on your keyboard.

 

Typical usage scenario

This widget will greatly increase the speed of your business case.

Imagine a form where an employee fills in data, and has to click on the Confirm button with a mouse click.

It would be way quicker when just pressing a key like "Enter" to Save changes and close the page.
