* Shortcut key exists?

[Hanning]

Is there a built-in shortcut key to "Display in Focus Window" when in the property box? Have look in the Help files but can't identify one...

Marlene,

You can click on the icon in the upper right corner of the property box that looks like a magnifying glass. This will display in the focus window the person you are looking at in the property box.

See the FH Help > Family Historian Help > The Property Box and scroll down to the toolbar description where it explains the magnifying glass icon.

There's nothing listed in the Help File under Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts, but you could try using fhugdownloads:contents:utility_autohotkey|> Utility ~ AutoHotkey

Thank you all - I am aware of the mouse method but wondering if there was a keyboard way that did not involve in the use of external software.

You can use the standard Windows method since the menus have underlined characters, So if you have an individual selected in the record window then Alt+VF will open the view menu and select Display in Focus Windows

Added in edit. I came across a small anomaly. when trying this out. If you use the property box to navigate , for example from individual to spouse then the shortcut key focuses on the selected individual as above. So you need to first go to the record and although the mouse method works the listed shortcut ctrl+G does not appear to work.

David,
Alt+VF is a handy keyboard shortcut but only works for a record selected in the Focus Window or Records Window.

The problem with Ctrl+G is its context of operation is not clear and I think it does not work in the Property Box focus.
