Visual FoxPro redefines some FoxPro 2.6 navigation key combinations.

FoxPro 2.6 Key Combination Visual FoxPro
Key Combination
Definition or Difference
CTRL+N Create a new file
CTRL+N CTRL+Y Add a record to a Browse window
CTRL+O CTRL+E DO program in editing window
SHIFT+F10

Opened the Macro Definition dialog box
SHIFT+F10 Opens the shortcut menu for the active window

You can insert null values into null-enabled fields with CTRL+0. If you don’t want your users to store null values to variables, disable this key combination with the following command:

ON KEY LABEL CTRL+0 *

You can restore SHIFT+F10 as the default macro recording key sequence with the SET MACKEY command.

In Visual FoxPro, the TAB key navigates between controls so you cannot tab through options in a list box. Use the arrow keys instead.

Note Other Microsoft products use CTRL+Y for redo, but Visual FoxPro uses CTRTL+R for redo, and for backward compatibility with previous versions of FoxPro, retains CRTL+Y for adding a record to a Browse window.
