UiPath studio has keyboard shortcuts for various activities to save lots of a user’s time. during this blog, you’ll learn various keyboard shortcuts in UiPath Studio and their customization techniques in detail.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts ask a task for invoking one or more commands by employing a series of 1 or several keys like CTRL+S to save lots of a word document. Such tasks also can be done through menu, pointing devices or via an instruction interface etc., but using keyboard shortcuts saves tons of your time.
File Management
• Ctrl+Shift+N − This keyboard shortcut will create a replacement blank process.
• Ctrl+O − If you would like to open a workflow, either .xaml or project.json, that’s created previously, use Ctrl+O keyboard shortcut.
• Ctrl+L − With the assistance of this keyboard shortcut, we will open the folder where the Log files are stored.
• Ctrl+S − it’s a really familiar keyboard shortcut. it’ll save the currently open workflow.
• Ctrl+Shift+S − Saves all the workflows that are currently open.
Comments
• Ctrl+D − With the assistance of this keyboard shortcut, you’ll ignore the activity that you simply recently selected by pacing it into a Comment Out container.
• Ctrl + E − it’ll remove the activity that was placed in comment out container.
Debugging
• F7 − This function key runs the currently open workflow in debug mode.
• F8 − This function key checks the currently open workflow for validation errors.
• F9 − With the assistance of this function key, we will mark the chosen activity or task with a breakpoint.
• Shift + F9 − Opposite to F9, it removes all the breakpoints within the currently open workflow.
• F11 − At the time of debugging, this function key enables us to step into a block of activities. Additionally, it’ll execute the primary activity also.
• Shift + F11 − At the time of debugging, this shortcut enables us to step over the execution of a block of activities within the currently selected workflow.
Recording
• Alt+Ctrl+W − This shortcut key opens the online recording toolbar (‘W’ during this shortcut key stands for Web).
• Alt+Ctrl+B − This shortcut key opens the essential recording toolbar (‘B’ during this shortcut key stands for Basic).
• Alt+Ctrl+C − This shortcut key opens the Citrix recording toolbar (‘C’ during this shortcut key stands for Citrix).
• Alt+Ctrl+D − This shortcut key opens the Desktop recording toolbar (‘D’ during this shortcut key stands for Desktop).
• F2 − This function key’s want to add delay while recording.
• F3 − This function key’s want to specify a custom recording region.
• F4 − With the assistance of this function key we will choose the UI framework, are often Default, AA and UIA, to record.
Workflow Execution
• F5 − This function key runs the workflow that’s currently open.
• F12 − This function key stops the execution of the present workflow. The workflow are often in normal or debug mode.
Selected Activity
• Ctrl + T − This shortcut key places the activity or task inside the TRY section of TRY-CATCH activity (Here ‘T’ stands for Try).
• Ctrl + T − This shortcut key places the activity or task inside the section of TRY-CATCH activity (Here ‘T’ stands for Try).
• Ctrl + N − With the assistance of this shortcut key, we will create a replacement sequence diagram within the current project.
• Ctrl + C − it’s a really familiar keyboard shortcut. it’ll copy the chosen activity or task (one or many) to the clipboard.
• Ctrl + V − it’s another very familiar keyboard shortcut. it’ll paste the copied activity or task (one or many) inside the chosen item.
Customization of Keyboard Shortcuts
The keyboard shortcuts, discussed above, are by default shortcuts keys of UiPath studio. it’s quite amazing feature of UiPath studio that we will customize these shortcut keys or we will create our own keyboard shortcuts.
Important points to recollect for keyboard shortcuts customization
It is very easy to customize keyboard shortcut keys. However, we must consider the subsequent points −
• Location of supported keyboard shortcuts − First of all, we must need to know the situation of all supported keyboard shortcuts. UiPath studio stores all of them in an .xml file. you’ll find that file at the situation C:\users\username\AppData\UiPath\Uipath\keyboardmappings.xml. you’ll edit this enter Notepad.
• What to edit − There are two important things to edit for customizing keyboard shortcuts −
o the values between represents the most keyboard buttons to press and hence it must be changed as per your customization needs.
o the values between represent the modifiers (Control, Alt, Windows) which may be changed as per your customization needs.
Steps for Keyboard Shortcuts Customization
In order to customize keyboard shortcuts, we’d like to follow these steps −
• Step1 − First, we’d like to shut the UiPath studio if it’s open.
• Step2 − Now, open the keyboardmappings.xml file containing the supported keyboard shortcuts with a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
• Step3 − Find the keyword shortcuts you would like to switch and alter the values for keyboard buttons between and for modifiers between.
• Step4 − eventually we’d like to save lots of and shut the keyboardmappings.xml file.
Example
In this example we are customizing the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+W used for web recording toolbar.
We need to seem for the keyboard shortcut for web recording toolbar as shown within the screenshot.

Now, we’ll change the choice ‘W’ between to mention ‘Z’. Then we’ll change the modifiers from Alt, Control between to Shift, Alt.

This will modify the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+W for web recording toolbar to Shift+Alt+Z.
