Web Client: Pressing F1 in catalog search does not bring up checkout screen

[Shula Link]

Found in 3.0. To recreate:

1) Sign in to the staff web client
2) Press F3 to begin a catalog search
3) Click on an item from the search
4) Press F1 to go to checkout

...On Chrome, it brings up Chrome Help.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam -- I think you're probably running into the issue alluded to by Galen in comment #2 of bug 1508477.

If you click outside of the embedded catalog area (i.e towards the top of the screen) you should be able to use the F1 shortcut as expected.

Obviously it's still an issue but I hope this is helpful for the time being.

Yes, I was planning to file a bug on this same issue, but I would like to expand it a bit. The hotkeys don't work in any embedded frame, which includes not only the catalog screens, but any Dojo screens.The problem with the Dojo screens should resolve themselves as Dojo is moved to AngularJS, but since the catalog will remain embedded, it would be great if we could find a solution that allows hotkey use in these screens. Also, it will take time for all of the Dojo screens to be converted, so making this improvement for those screens too would be good.
