Join nowIs there a keyboard shortcut to 'select all' of the description field and delete the details so I can type a new description? I don't want to delete the whole line/entry, jus the description field as I copy invoices all of the time to create a new one and just the Description field/amount has to change.
Good day, @jmccall93.
Yes, there's a shortcut key you can use to select all of the description fields and delete the details when creating invoices.
All you have to do is point your cursor and press right-click at the beginning of the description. Then, press Shift + End to highlight the text. Once done, press delete to remove the details in the description.

Yes there are shortcuts:
- If the description is one line of text (even if wrapped), then assuming your cursor is at the beginning of the field, use the key combination Shift-End.
- If the description is either one line or multiple lines of text with carriage returns, then use the key combination Shift-Ctrl-End.
@ReymondO RE: Currently, there are no available shortcut keys to select all of the description fields and delete the details when creating invoices.
