To edit the tab-order select View->Tab order from the main Visual Studio menu when you are on a form designer. You can assign a shortcut to a Label control, in such a case next tab-ordered control will be activated. For example, once you have &Edit, you can have E&xit buttons with Alt+E and Alt+X shortcuts respectively. Assigning the same shortcuts to several controls is ambiguous, but you can use any letter in the label to be a shortcut. Of course, you are able to assign only one shortcut to a button.
Now the shortcut letters will be underlined when you press Alt on the keyboard. Note this applies to the Label or Text of the control, not to the variable name. For example, label the button &Edit and it will react to the Alt+E shortcut. How to do this? Just add an ampersand sign ( & ) before the text or label letter you want the control to react to. To allow WinForms control to be activated by keyboard, you just need to assign a shortcut for it. But what if you need your form to be controlled just by the keyboard? Is it possible to press a hotkey and activate a specific control in the WinForms application? The answer is yes, and it is quite simple.
When you build a form, the user is required to use the mouse to control it: click the buttons, edit text boxes, checkboxes, etc.
If that shortcut is already defined for any other function it will display below, then click ok. So, the questions regarding these applications are still actual and demanded. Select keyboard in the left panel then type desired function in the 'show command containing' box then select the command then move cursor to Press shortcut keys box and press the key for a new shortcut. Sometimes it is easier to develop a simple WinForms application that is self-sufficient and will just work by itself rather than pay rent for Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS every month. In the age of web development, programming C# WinForms applications are kind of outdated, but still, many software programmers are involved in developing legacy desktop applications, which will definitely be used for years from now on.
