You can use keyboard shortcuts instead of your mouse to open windows, select buttons, menus and other options in AccountRight.

Use the Alt key

To select a button, menu or option, press the Alt key and then the shortcut letter that's assigned to the object you want to select. For example, when you press Alt in the Sales window, the Record button label will show the letter o underlined. This means that if you press Alt and the letter o (Alt+o) the sale will be recorded. Note that the Alt key shortcuts vary across command centres. For example, Alt+u in the Payroll command centre will open the Payment Summary Assistant. But Alt+u on the Purchases command centre will open the New Purchase window.
