Solution 3

look this example

XML

<body onkeypress="HotKeyClick();">

<asp:Button ID="Btn" runat="server" Text="Save"  AccessKey="s" />

in js write this code

C#

function HotKeyClick()
{
    if(event.srcElement.type == 'text' || event.srcElement.type == 'textarea' || event.srcElement.type == 'select') return true;

    var ArrButtons = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

    for(var Count=0; Count < ArrButtons.length; Count++)
    {
        if(ArrButtons[Count].type == 'submit')
        {
            if(ArrButtons[Count].accessKey != null)
            {
                var keyChar = new String(String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode));
                var acsChar = new String(ArrButtons[Count].accessKey);

                if(keyChar.toUpperCase() == acsChar.toUpperCase())
                {
                    if (ArrButtons[Count].disabled == false)
                    {
                        ArrButtons[Count].focus();
                        ArrButtons[Count].click();
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

AccessKey is property to set shortcut key for controls.

XML

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

Now press ALT + S to trigger the button.

you can use the javascript for the same task: Keyboard Shortcut in ASP.NET[^]

Please refer:
Asp.Net ShortCut Keys[^]
ASP.NET Keyboard Shortcut Controls[^]
