Close documentation window with Shift + Enter

Status: New

It would be great if we could close the documentation editor window by entering <Shift> + Enter.  Several other LabVIEW IDE dialogs and text entry objects work this way already.  We can open the properties with a keyboard shortcut, and if we were last using the documentation, no mouse work is needed, except to close the dialog.  When I already have both hands on the keyboard, it would be nice to not have to grab the mouse just to close the dialog.

 

 

 

Edited to suggest using unused modifier key, Ctrl is already taken.

I use Ctrl+Enter to put in a new line in the VI documentation.  Maybe Atl+Enter isn't being used?  My initial test didn't do anything.

Doesn't enter already do that?

Not if "End text entry with Enter key" is enabled.

Ahh, I see.  I use the opposite, as you probably guessed.  Sure, maybe Alt-Enter or Shift-Enter would be less intrusive

I updated the post for using Shift instead of Ctrl; I forgot that was already in use.
