  Good Morning
  
  Is it possible to implement a shotkey on a RibbonTextBox?
  
  This would be the fastest way to move the mousepointer into the text box

  Thanks and Regards

  Hi João,

  You can use the KeyTip property for this.
  
  Assuming that your textbox (ribbonTextBox1) is in a tab ‘ribbonTabHome’, you can use this:

  ribbonTabHome.KeyTip = "H";
  ribbonTextBox1.KeyTip = "T";
  

  Pressing ‘Alt + H + T’ will put the focus on the textbox.

  Regards,

  As you can see from the image below, i have:
  
  c1.win.c1ribbon.c1ribbon
  
  c1.win.c1ribbon.RibbonTab
  
  c1.win.c1ribbon.RibbonGroup
  
  c1.win.c1ribbon.RibbonTextBox

  What is the best and fastest way to reach the textBox via the keyboard??

  i do not seem to be able to solve this problem.

  Thanks and Regards

  Have you tried setting KeyTip property?
  
  In your case, you can right-click on ‘Escalas’ tab, click on ‘Properties’ from the context menu. In the Properties window set KeyTip property (for example, ‘E’).

  Similarly, do the same for the textbox.

  Also, make sure that SupportsKeyTips of C1Ribbon is set to true.

  You can see the attached sample for an example.
  
  After executing the sample, the key combination ‘Alt + H + T’ would focus the textbox.
