Is there a keyboard shortcut key to expand/collapse the top summary section on forms. I know you can click the arrow, but a shortcut key would be faster.
If not a native key, is there a way to customize it? Google has been no help.
I am fairly confident there is no shortcut for that. You can try suggesting it:

They do have shortcup for that, here is a shortcup of the code they are using in JS. you can customize JS in the page, the setup new shortcup event.
switch (k)
{
case 27: // escape
__px(this).cancelEvent(e, false);
break;
case 13: // enter
case 9: // Tab
var ddOpen = this.dropDownOpen || this.autoCompleteOpen;
if (ddOpen && this._autoCompleteT == null && k == 13)
{
this.hideDropDown(true);
this._repaintText(this.isEditMode());
}
else
{
if (ddOpen) this.hideDropDown(false);
if (!this.inlineEditor)
{
this.execBlurCommand(false);
this._blurCommandLaunched = true;
setTimeout(function() { delete me._blurCommandLaunched; }, 1);
}
}
break;
Sorry but i don't see how pasting JS code answers the original question. If they do have a keyboard shortcut then what is it?
you need to customize keyboard shortcut for this with JS
Update for everyone. I reached out to Fred and he helped with some custom javascript that did the trick. It was actually very easy to do.
He had us add the following as the script property of a javascript control on the sales order form. You can change the code to use any key combo you want. Ours was CTRL+space. Thank you again Fred!!!!! We ended up adding to the sales invoice and purchase order/receipt forms as well. I love easy solutions!
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { if (event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode === 32) { document.getElementById("ctl00_phF_form_ims").click() } });

This is really cool, thank you for sharing! I haven't added Javascript to screens before, so had to look it up. Sergey has a nice article here. I don't think it matters where you put it, so I added to top of first column and set IsStartupScript = True. I think it would function regardless of that though. Then just pasted the two lines from your above post into the Script section.
Wow, this definitely opens up a lot of possibilities. Very cool!
