their has some limitations because of the browser limiting some of the shortcut keys. Thus it will not respond as it is in the applications.

Solution 1

Try this

Keyboard Shortcut in ASP.NET[^]

ASP.NET Keyboard Shortcut Controls [^]

EDIT
--------------------
AccessKey is property to set shortcut key for controls.

<asp:Button AccessKey="S" ID="btnSubmit" runat="server">

Now press ALT + S to trigger the button.

Also you can use the javascript for the same task. Check the first link.

For your information I gave you right & working solution. But you said it's not working for you. Better post your code in your question. At least you might save your time by included your code in your question instead of down-voted this answer. OK let us know after include your code in your question.
