How to Create a Custom Keyboard Shortcut in DOORS?

Question

Its very time consuming to navigate through: example: X->Y->Z->A->B

Can we create a Custom Keyboard Shortcut for this in DOORS?

Answer 1

is this about following out-links? If so, you could write a DXL script that opens the first out-linked module and navigates to the linked object. This script can be placed in a custom pull-down-menu. The script can be given a shortcut (accelerator key). Script would look like this.

Object o = current
if (null o) error "no current object"
Link lnk
for lnk in o->"*" do {
    ModName_ targetMod
    targetMod = target lnk
    Module mTgt = read(fullName(targetMod), true)
    if (null mTgt) error "cannot open target module"
    current = mTgt
    Object  oTgt = target lnk
    current = oTgt
    break
}
