    Finally I found a method to implement:

    1. click a widget

    2. focus to function list

    3. select all default text of default function, such as: button→"Button Type"

    4. type "ons", so the "OnSelect" will display

    5. press enter button

    6. then u can reach the expected function: "OnSelect"

    Hi @fgu3029 

    I agree with you - this is frustrating.

    In Power Apps, there are 2 types of button - the classic button and the modern button.

    The behaviour of the classic button is that single clicking the button defaults the selected property in the editor to the OnSelect property. Double clicking the button selects the button text and enables you to edit it.

    The modern controls are still in a state of development and this behaviour hasn't made it to the modern button (along with various other features). I would hope that at some time, the modern button will behave the same as the classic button.

    Yes, most common use function should be easily reach.

    Rather than each time select it manually.

    Hi  @fgu3029 

     

    I do not understand what you mean. There

    is no double click in Power Apps. 

    but when you say jump to onselect. Do you mean in the Studio code? You want to go directly to the OnSelect Property when you double click the control on the UI?
