Keyboard Navigation on ODK Briefcase

Hi,

This is an usual question.

I am currently setting up a robot to perform scheduled "pulling" of surveys
from ODK Briefcase by using keyboard instructions (eg Tab, Enter, Spacebar
etc). I am able to connect, select the forms needed but i then cannot get
to the pull button using "Tab" as it stays within the list of forms. Is
there a shortcut i can use to push the "pull" button or some other way of
navigating to it by only using keyboard strokes?

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

Brad

Brad,

You can submit a feature request
(https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/list) and the core team
will add it when they have time. If you actually want it done quickly,
your best option is to patch it yourself or hire a developer
(http://opendatakit.org/help/help-for-hire/).

One good alternative is to use a macro program that can record mouse
events. I think http://www.autohotkey.com/ or
http://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/ would work.

I've added this to the source (not yet pushed).

Will be in the 1.4.3 release.

That will be out "soon" -- I need to resolve a code-change merge issue....
