Change from "tab" to "enter" when switching fields on invoice or payment

"Help" says to change setting under advanced so I can hit "enter" instead of "tab" to switch fields and I should check box next to "use enter go..." but that option is not there under advanced under settings.

Change from "tab" to "enter" when switching fields on invoice or payment

QuickBooks Online provides a user-friendly and straightforward way to navigate the program, kat591. I wanted to make sure that we clear out your question about getting around the program.

 

I'd also like to ask if you can share the link to the Help article that talks about changing the settings. Is it for QuickBooks Online?

 

To clarify, you can only use the Tab button to navigate and transition between fields without the need to frequently use the mouse.

 

A few other keyboard shortcuts that can help with efficient navigation are:

 

  • Use Shift+Tab to go back.
  • Use the Space Bar to check a check box field.

 

Please note that using the Enter key button is unavailable at the moment.

 

For more information on the keyboard shortcuts that are available to help streamline your workflow, please refer to this Help article:  Keyboard Shortcuts For QuickBooks Online.

 

I'd recommend sending feedback or product suggestions about using the Enter key to our engineers. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
  2. Enter your suggestions.
  3. Once done, click Next to send it.

 

Providing your input can help the development team evaluate opportunities to enhance the user experience over time.
