Fortunately, these organizations have access to tools like Intuit QuickBooks to help them fill these needs in a way that is accessible and convenient. Let’s review some shortcuts to help you be more productive in managing your business finances via QuickBooks. ## There Are Plenty of Shortcuts Available in QuickBooks Let’s list some shortcuts you can use to accomplish various things. ### Working in Forms and Transactions Several shortcuts can help you work more efficiently while you are creating forms and recording transactions. - Moving between pages within forms and reports is simple: press **Page Up** or **Page Down**, accordingly. - You can record transactions by pressing **Enter**. - Adding or deleting transaction lines is as simple as pressing **Ctrl + Insert/Delete.** - Moving between transaction lines can be accomplished by pressing the **Up and Down arrow keys.** - You can copy and paste transaction lines by highlighting the appropriate transaction, pressing **Ctrl + Alt + Y**, then navigating to an empty line and pressing **Ctrl + Alt + V**. - Wherever there’s a dropdown menu, you can open it by pressing **Ctrl + L** while the menu is highlighted. Once the appropriate option is selected, you can add it to your form by pressing **Ctrl + U**. - You can also have QuickBooks “memorize” (or save for later use) forms and their transactions. To do so, press **Ctrl + M**. - Accessing these memories is as easy as pressing **Ctrl + T**. ### Navigating the App QuickBooks also offers quick and easy ways to get around the app itself. For instance: - **F1** pulls up the Help window. - Press **Ctrl + 1** to search for specific transactions, invoices, and other information in the Find Transaction window. - Similarly, the Search window, which helps you find customers and accounts, is accessible by pressing **Ctrl + 2**.
