Some keyboard shortcuts in GnuCash (also in German: De/Tastenkürzel)
(Note: The initial text is just copied from the tip-of-the-day. Feel free to edit the list as you like.')
Main Window
- To switch between multiple tabs in the main window, press Control+Alt+Page Up/Down (Control-Command-Page Up/Down on a Mac.) Note that the notebook has to have keyboard focus, and you might have to hit Tab once or twice to obtain that.
- To expand a place holder account in the tree view of the main window account page, use Tab to select the place holder account, then press Shift + right-arrow (the arrow key on pc-keyboard), to collapse the tree view of any place holder account press shift + left-arrow
Register window
- As you enter amounts in the register, you can use the GnuCash calculator to add, subtract, multiply and divide . Simply type the first value, then select +, -, *, or /. Type the second value and press Tab or Enter to record the calculated amount.
- Quick-fill makes it easy to enter common transactions. When you type the first letter(s) of a common transaction description, GnuCash will automatically complete the remainder of the transaction as it was last entered.
- Type the first letter(s) or the plain account # of an existing account entry in the Transfer register column, and GnuCash will complete the entry from your list of accounts. For subaccounts, type the first letter(s) of the parent account, followed by ":" and the first letter(s) of the subaccount (e.g. A:C for Assets:Cash.)
- Want to see all your subaccount transactions in one register? From the main menu, highlight the parent account and select Accounts -> Open Subaccounts from the menu.
- When entering dates, you can type + or - to increment or decrement the selected date. You can use + and - to increment and decrement check numbers as well.
- To raise the accounts menu in the transfer field of a register page, press the Menu key or the Ctrl-Down key combination.
- To jump to the blank transaction at the bottom, Shift+PgDn.
Reconcile Window
- In the reconcile window, you can press the spacebar to mark transactions as reconciled. You can also press Tab and Shift-Tab to move between deposits and withdrawals.
