Keyboard shortcuts
This topic gives an overview of keyboard shortcuts that can be used in the DataMapper.
Keyboard shortcuts available in the Designer for menu items, script editors and the data model pane can also be used in the DataMapper; see Keyboard shortcuts.
Although some of the keyboard shortcuts are the same, this isn't a complete list of Windows keyboard shortcuts. Please refer to Windows documentation for a complete list of Windows keyboard shortcuts.
