Invoice editor keyboard shortcuts
Work faster with the keyboard: shortcuts to review invoices without constantly relying on the mouse.
The Ubyquo invoice editor lets you perform most operations from the keyboard, making it easier to enter and review data without constantly using the mouse.
Important: the +, −, * and / keys mentioned in this article are the ones on the numeric keypad. The equivalent keys on the main keyboard do not work for these actions.
On laptops without a numeric keypad, the image zoom and rotation functions can be performed with the buttons on the viewer's bottom bar.
Opening invoices from the list
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open the selected invoice in the editor | Enter (Intro) or double-click |
| Open the editor to go through all the invoices in the list, not just the pending ones | Ctrl + Enter or Ctrl + double-click |
With the Carga automática (Auto-load) option turned on, when you save an invoice the next invoice with any item pending review, such as data, journal entry or due items, opens automatically.
If you hold down the Ctrl key when opening the editor, you can go through all the invoices in the list.
