Is there a keyboard shortcut for "save" when editing a transaction? Right now, I have to leave the keyboard to click on "save", and I usually have to scroll down to it

It's a pain and frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut, like 'shift enter' to save a transaction without having to use the mouse. I'm hoping there's a shortcut I haven't figured out yet?

Hi there, dfribush.

 

At the moment, the option to Save the transactions using keyboard shortcuts is unavailable in QuickBooks Self-Employed. 

 

 I can definitely see how this keyboard shortcut would be useful to save the transaction. I recommend you let our product developers know what features you'd like to add. Sending your feedback will help us not only improve the product but also will help us know what works best for you. 

 

Here's how to send your request:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top. 
  2. Click Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
  4. Then choose Next to submit feedback.

 

Additionally, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Help Articles for QuickBooks Self-Employed.

For a blind person who can only use the keyboard, not a mouse, there should be a keyboard method to save a transaction edit.

Hi there, Halter. I can see how beneficial having the option to have a keyboard shortcut in saving transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'll share some information about this. 

 

Currently, the option to have a keyboard shortcut for "Save" when editing a transaction is unavailable. That said, you have to manually select the Save button in QBO to save the changes you made.

 

Our product developers are constantly working to enhance and update QBO features to better meet our user's needs and optimize their navigation experience. While the option you need is unavailable, you can send your feedback to them to request the addition of this ability. Our engineers frequently review the insights in this forum to see what functions are most needed by customers. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBO account, navigate to the Gear icon.
  2. Next, select the Feedback option.
  3. From there, enter the details of your product comments. Example: Have a keyboard shortcut for "Save" when editing a transaction.
  4. Then, click Next to submit. 

 

You can also visit our Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online website to track the suggestion you've submitted.  

 

For additional keyboard shortcuts you can use, read this article: Keyboard shortcuts for QuickBooks Online.

 

I'll include this helpful resource that you can read to have a guide in managing your company settings: Edit company settings in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please keep me updated if you have any further concerns about keeping the modifications you made on your books. I'll be right there to help you.
