Keystroke shortcuts for RLIN21 Latin keyboard - bibliographic records only

For those who choose to use the RLIN21 Latin keyboard for entering diacritics and special characters instead of the client’s built-in Edit > Enter Diacritics function, see a list of keystroke shortcuts for entering diacritics and special characters that are included in the RLIN21 Latin keyboard in RLIN21 Latin Character Keystroke Alternatives.

 Caution:

• While using the RLIN21 keyboards (also available: Arabic, Cyrillic, and Latin keyboards), you cannot use Connexion client default keystrokes mapped to alpha-numeric characters that include the Alt, Ctrl+Alt, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys.
• These combinations are used with the RLIN21 keyboards and override the Connexion client keystrokes when you use an RLIN21 keyboard.
• Connexion client function keys and keystrokes assigned to alpha/ numeric characters that include the Ctrl, Alt+Shift and Ctrl+Shift keys are available.
  Example: The default keystroke for Action > Delete Record, mapped to <Ctrl><Alt><D>, conflicts with the RLIN21 keyboards and cannot be used; you must re-map the Delete Record action to another keyboard shortcut if you want to use it while also using the RLIN21 keyboards.
• You can continue to use the default keystroke for entering the delimiter character (<Ctrl><D>) and the default keystroke for Action > Export (<F5>), since they do not conflict with RLIN21 keyboards.
