Defining a Fastpath (SAP Library - BC ABAP Workbench Tools)

Defining a Fastpath

Fastpaths allow you to enter a menu path using a single letter or sequence of letters instead of the mouse.

Example:

You can choose the function Delete from the Edit menu by entering L.

You can also enter the entire menu path using the letter combination preceded with a period. In our example above, you would enter.BL in the command field.

Rules

The fastpath for a menu must be unique within the menu bar. The fastpath for a function must be unique within its menu.

The letter must be a part of the complete function name. For example, you could not choose Z as the fastpath for the Create function.

In double-byte languages, the English fastpath keys are used. The frontend displays the double-byte language text in the menu, with the English letter for the fastpath in parentheses afterwards.

Maintaining a Fastpath

You do not have to maintain fastpaths explicitly. As soon as you generate the interface, the system creates a set of default fastpaths automatically. You can then change the fastpath if required.

To change the fastpath, open the status in the Menu Painter.
Choose Goto ® Object lists ® Fastpath.
The fastpath maintenance screen appears. Here, you can enter a fastpath for each function.
To display a default set of fastpaths, choose Propose fastpath.
Choose Save.
