Hi,

As part of my automation, I need to reverse tab i.e. move focus from a field to the previous field using keystrokes. While I know that keeping the “SHIFT” key pressed and then pressing the “TAB” key would work, I need to know as to how I can simulate those using UiPath STUDIO?

Please help!

Thanks in Advance,

Ramesh Rangarajan

If you are using classic activities then use send hot key activity.

If you are using modern design then use Keyboard shortcuts activity.

Give selector of exact element for which you want to use shift+tab

Hi @rameshrangaraj1970

Yes for keystrokes you can use the Keyboard activities.

Use the Keyboard shortcut activity if you are using the modern activities.
Choose the Window messages option for Input mode property in the properties panel.

Note - The Keyboard Shortcut activity has to be use inside the Use application\browser activity.

Use the Send Hotkey activity if you are using the classic activities.
Check the window messages property in the properties panel.

Hope it helps!!
