Discoverability

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1.3] Most keyboard shortcut hints now show when you hover over the Form Builder toolbox, the buttons bar, or icons. [SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1.6] If you want to disable hover hints because you find them distracting or for any other reason, set the following property to false. Its default value is true, meaning hints are shown by default for all forms.

<property
    as="xs:boolean"
    name="oxf.fr.keyboard-shortcuts.show-hints.*.*"
    value="false"/>
