Overview
Keyboard shortcuts aid accessibility and can make it easier and more efficient to navigate to different areas and elements on a page. They are supported by most web browsers, however, the behavior may vary slightly.
Note
The keyboard shortcuts described here refer to the U.S. keyboard layout. The layout of the keys on other keyboards may not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.
Most of the shortcuts are the same whether the operating system is Windows or macOS. However, some shortcuts differ for macOS. These are indicated with brackets in the following sections.
Note
In addition to the global keyboard shortcuts described in this topic, a number of business-specific shortcuts are available. For example, in the generic version of Business Central, F9 posts a document and Ctrl+F7 shows the financial entries for a record. (These may be different in you solution.) The keyboard shortcut is shown in the tooltip for the action in question.
