Hi Tom,
Sorry, there is not. I agree that I should write one of these. For the time being, though, I have tried very hard to put everything with a useful keyboard shortcut on the menus, and the short-cuts are listed in those menus. So, explore the menus.

Please let me know, if you feel there is something important that is missing a useful keyboard shortcut.

Hi Tom,
Also, if you would be willing to let me watch you work, I would be happy to set up a WebEx to determine if there is anything I can do to help improve the situation for you, whether that be teaching you shortcuts that exist in Skyline or implementing new shortcuts.

Even if I just teach you shortcuts that will give me ideas on what to document better.

--Brendan

Thanks Brendan,
I found the main ones I need in the menu. I don't think there are any that currently missing and should be included. However, there are some such as "edit note" which would be better served by a single button rather than a "shift+ another keypress" but these are just little things that only affect you during marathon 8 hour skyline sessions!

Thanks again

Hi Tom,
If you could add a complete list to this thread of the ones you find cumbersome but high use, I will make an effort to improve them.

Thanks for your feedback.

Is there still no list of keybindings available?

Indeed this is still something very much needed!

Hi All,

Here is a list of the Key bindings I could easily find in the molecule interface. I hope it helps!

Is there a shortcut for tab navigation? such as to switch replicate tabs in chromatogram view.
For example, I am modifying peak boundaries across 10 replicates over 100 targets. A shortcut to rotate tabs (for diff replicate chromatograms) would be really nice.

Ctrl + Up and Ctrl + Down are the keys to switch you between replicates.

By the way, have you seen the new "Synchronize Integration" right-click menu item on Chromatograms? That is useful if you want to set the peak boundaries on all of your replicates to the exact same thing start and end times, which may or may not be helpful for what you need to do.

Hi Skyline team,

what do you think about introducing two shortcuts for Peptide Settings... and Transition Settings..., if it's not too much work? At least during method development I need to go there a lot and I so often miss and click the wrong one, too... But, maybe, it's just me.

Roman

Roman,
You can always use the "Alt" key to access menu items.
It's a standard Windows thing that as soon as you press the "Alt" key, letters on the menu items become underlined indicating what you would need to press to activate the menu item.
So, "Peptide Settings" is "Alt, S, P" and "Transition Settings" is "Alt, S, T".

Is that good enough, or are you asking for an even simpler key combination to bring these up?
-- Nick

Hi Nick,

this is great, I did not know that!

Thank you,
Roman

Hi Nick,

Ctrl+up and Ctrl + down to navigate replicates as well as synchronize integration are life savers! Thank you for pointing these out!

Thank you,
Alexis

Hi all,

thanks for asking Tom, it's a great question!
And thanks to Allison for making a summary!

I was wondering if the "synchronized integration" menu (which is great) also deserves a keyboard shortcut.
Maybe Ctrl+Shift+I (for Integrations)?
Or possibly as a toggle between synchronized for all or just the current sample.

Using Windows approach (Alt+...) is far longer than right-click and selecting the context menu.

Keep up the great work!
Best regards,
    Thorsten
