Each panel of the OptQuest wizard has controls that enable you to make settings and navigate through the wizard panels, run an optimization, close OptQuest, get online help, and perform other operations only available on a particular panel. When you click Alt in each panel, OptQuest Results view, or the OptQuest Control Panel, shortcut keys are highlighted in each menu or button label. Table 13 lists keyboard equivalents (shortcut keys) for OptQuest wizard controls in the Objectives, Decision Variables, and Constraints panels. Table 14 lists keyboard equivalents for settings in the Options panel. Options panel buttons are included in Table 13.
Note: | The Enter key can be used in the OptQuest wizard to put an objective, requirement, or constraint row into edit mode so individual elements can be accessed and edited. |
