Shortcut Key List

A shortcut key provides a quick method of activating commands. Once memorized, shortcut keys can increase your productivity by reducing the number of movements between the keyboard and mouse.

For example, pressing Ctrl+P will print the form displayed on the screen just as clicking the Print button on the toolbar will print the form.
