Is there a keyboard shortcut for the ellipsis buttons of the Project Options in the Delphi IDE


The Project Options in the Delphi IDE has a few option (like the Search Path) each with an ellipsis button (the one on the right having only three dots ... in the image below) to pop-up a dialog.

What keyboard shortcut activates that button?

Project Options with ellipsis button


Solution

  • Since the Delphi 8, ellipsis button can be activated by pressing Alt + Down, same as for combobox-style fields (with arrow button). Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Enter.

    In Delphi 7 and older, ellipsis buttons were standalone buttons so you could use Tab followed by the Space or Enter key.
