Is there any hotkey or quickdrop keystrokes to quickly get to a VI documentation?

Solved!

Hello all:

 

Is there a way to quickly get to Documentation property of a VI (maybe using a hotkey) so that it saves time from using usual way of clicking through a few menus?  This would save me a lot of time during documentation as I have many VI to document.  I have searched this forum and Lava but so far I have not found anything helpful.  I read about Darren's post on customizing keystrokes but I cannot figure out how I could do that for Documentation property of a VI.

 

Thank you!

Ctrl+I brings up the VI properties.  From there, you have to change the dropdown menu to "Documentation".  That is the fastest way I know of.

 

But the VI properties dialog does remember the last drop down value.  So the next time you go into a VI's properties, it will still be on the documentation.  So as long as you stay with the documentation option, Ctrl+I will take you to the VI Documentation.
