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.
