infoDART Hot-Key Search

 

Description

IHS' logistics databases and document library can be queried simply by highlighting a NSN/NIIN, CAGE, Part Number, MIL Spec ID, APL/RIC, vendor name or document number within almost any application and pressing a user defined Hot-Key sequence.  A search value may also be selected by hovering the mouse over a value and pressing the defined Hot-Key. By default, the Hot-Key sequence is "CTRL+SHIFT+A". The default Hot-Key can be modified within the application's configuration dialog.


Default Hot-Key Action

The default action of the Hot-Key displays the pop-up menu below so that users can select the appropriate search type for the data highlighted.  Users can also select a default search type from the application's pop-up menu to suppress this pop-up menu all together. This feature is convenient when you will be doing research on a single type of data.

Hot-Key Test Drive

Let's give the Hot-Key a try!  The application must be currently running and visible within the Windows system tray before proceeding. Highlight the NIIN data value within the table below and press the user defined Hot-Key (Default: CTRL+SHIFT+A)  sequence to view affiliated data.  Affiliated data for this NIIN will be displayed in the default web browser.  Try out the other sample data values below.

Changing the default Hot-Key Sequence

The default Hot-Key can be changed within the application's configuration dialog.  Right clicking the application’s system tray icon and selecting the "Configuration" menu item displays the configuration dialog.  You can safely select just about any Hot-Key sequence, but avoid using any known existing Hot-Key sequences like "Windows+E", "Windows+F", or "Windows+R" which are reserved by Windows.  Select a "Hold Key(s) / Modifier Key(s)" option and a letter (A-Z) from the drop downs provided in the general configuration dialog.
