Custom Shortcuts

The Custom Shortcuts panel provides a way to personalize your Smartpoint Cloud with shortcuts or favorites that you use most often. In the current phase, the custom shortcuts only support imported Travelport+ (Galileo) programmable keys.

From the Custom Shortcuts panel, you can:

• Import Galileo Pkeys

• Create a custom shortcut

• Create a custom shortcut input form

• Record a command

• Use a custom shortcut

• Edit a custom shortcut

• Export custom shortcuts

Import your Galileo Programable Keys (Pkeys)

1. From the side bar, select the Tools () icon.

2. From the Custom Shortcuts header, select the Options () icon.

   

3. Select Import.

4. Select Browse and locate the Pkey file stored on your local drive.

5. Select Open.

6. Select whether to overwrite existing shortcuts.

7. Select Next.

All imported Pkeys are visible with the new keyboard shortcuts. To launch the custom shortcuts, use the keyboard shortcut combination or click on the key.

Troubleshooting: 

• If the error PKeys file provided is not valid is returned, try each entry in the Smartpoint Cloud terminal window to verify that it works. At this time, some entries are not supported. If an entry doesn’t work, remove it from your PKeys file and try the import again.

• If any of keyboard shortcuts in the imported file match a shortcut that is used by the browser, that keyboard shortcut is automatically reassigned. When this situation occurs, the following warning message displays:
