Enable Access Key (Alt) Hotkey in Dynamics 365 Web Client

Posted on by CU10092020-0 10
Greetings!
 
The "Help" section of Dynamics 365 Business Central  Web Client has the following link for Hotkeys, and how to use Access keys Alt to give shortcuts to the ribbon and action bar. This functionality is currently built-in to all desktop versions of NAV, Dynamics, Business Central, etc. I have used.
The link states "To use access keys on a page, first select the Alt key to display key tips, which are letters in small boxes next to the actions in the action bar and navigation menu.", however; in testing on Mozilla Firefox (with and without browser hotkeys enabled), Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, the Alt key has never displayed the shortcuts as shown below.
 
How are access keys enabled in the web version? I have been unable to find any answer to this question online thus far. I am not looking for any other hotkeys. Please, do not give any advice on how to implement page specific hotkeys for customization beyond what is present in out of the box Dynamics, I am not a developer, I simply do not want to use my mouse to access the ribbon (action bar).
 
 
The current behavior of the Alt key after pressing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, version 14.34.
 
Any assistance is very much appreciated, please let me know if additional details are required to address this question.
 
Thank you,
Timothy

    Interesting, apologies, I did not include the Web Business Central version I am accessing: Version: US Business Central 20.2, based on Yun's and Mr. Drenteria's responses, access keys are only functional as of Version 25. I will leave this open in-case anyone else has knowledge about Access Keys in earlier versions, will mark as solved if the functionality was brought back with Wave 2 of BC25.
    Thanks, Timothy

    Hi
    If your version is different from the English one, it can be used from version 25, Wave 2 of 2024.
