Hot keys (keyboard shortcuts) can be used to activate functions without having to use the mouse. These hot keys work when viewing the combination of hitlist and bibliographic record that is the default display retrieved when searching. In some instances these hot keys work differently when only the hitlist or only a bibliographic record is displayed. To change that combined hitlist and bibliographic record display, the Show/Hide Viewer Helper must be engaged, as shown below, so that only a hitlist results when searching. In the explanations below, this is described as “viewing hitlist only.”  If a Detailed Display of a bibliographic record is chosen, or the Modify button is selected so that a single record displays, that is described below as “viewing bibliographic record only.” The results of a hot key selection when displaying the combination hitlist and bibliographic record are described here as “hitlist/bib record.”  Some of the hot keys function differently depending on what screen is being displayed when the hot key is selected. Hot keys may also work differently depending on which wizard is being used. These hot keys have been tested in the Item Search and Display Wizard, the Call Number and Item Maintenance Wizard, and in the Modify Title Wizard.
