[GIS] Seeking keyboard shortcut in QGIS for opening attribute table

attribute-tableqgisshortcuts

Is there a keyboard shortcut for opening an attribute table for a layer in QGIS ?

I'd like to avoid having to right-click on my layer and then use the drop-down menu to select "Open Attribute Table".

By default the F6 key is the shortcut to open the attribute table of the layer selected in the Layers Panel in Windows. If there is no default shortcut (which is the case in QGIS on MacOS) or you want to change the shortcut, you can go to "Settings - Configure Shortcuts" and select your own shortcut key combination.

I would suggest getting rid of the default "Ok/Cancel" buttons and creating your own push buttons/event listeners (button may be created in Qt Designer):

code e.g:

def doSomething(self):
    # process data

def closeForm(self):
    self.dlg.close()

def initGui(self):
    # more stuff here not shown
    self.dlg.pushButton1.clicked.connect(self.doSomething)
    self.dlg.pushButton2.clicked.connect(self.closeForm)
    self.dlg.pushButton1.setShortcut("A")

When the user clicks the pushButton1 the data will be processed in the doSomething function and the form will stay open. When the user clicks the pushButton2 the form will close.

Update, added statement above when you click the "A" key it will call clicked event of pushButton1 which will call the doSomething function.

Does anyone know of a shortcut to at least open/expose the File drop down menu in the top left? If so, then it's a quick 2 strokes and I'm there.

Alt+F is the standard Windows keyboard shortcut to open the File Menu, so Alt+F, E will get you your Export dialog.
