Custom Form Actions have been enhanced with keyboard shortcut support,
to launch the action when a key or a key combination is pressed.

01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), Build: 9.5.4.30821 or higher ...
02. CONNect the database and open the form in Form designer ...
For Example:
RRBYW18 > Forms > SalesTransactions > Design ...

a Shortcut Key, such as [F12] to print report.
