Solution
TestStand is a flexible framework that allows users to build custom test automation applications. Because of this flexibility, keyboard shortcuts can vary depending on the specific application a user is working with.
For example, users may develop their own TestStand-based applications—such as a custom Operator Interface—and define shortcuts that are unique to their implementation. Therefore, shortcuts are not standardized across all TestStand applications.
Our documentation focuses specifically on the TestStand Sequence Editor, which is the default and flagship TestStand application used for editing sequence files. While users can customize shortcuts in the Sequence Editor, this document only covers the default keyboard shortcuts provided by the application.
