Hello,
In the previous version of STAAD V8i, there was a convenient shortcut key (F9) to run the analysis. However, it seems that this shortcut key has been removed in the advanced version, known as Connect Edition.
To enhance the user experience and facilitate efficient workflow in STAAD.Pro, it would be highly beneficial to reintroduce the shortcut keys, including the functionality to run the analysis with a simple keystroke.
Thank you for posting your idea. However, the functionality does exist. The shortcut to run the analysis is CTRL+F5. Please refer to the help topic Getting Started>Keyboard Shortcuts to see a definitive list.
