Help : Shortcuts
Moneydance contains several "shortcuts" that make common operations
easy and efficient. Here are categorized summaries of the shortcuts available:
General Shortcuts These are shortcuts that can be found scattered around
the application.
Date Fields: You can "spin" any date field using the
+ and - keys (or the = and _ keys, respectively). Pressing these keys
will increment or decrement the date by one day.
Account Edit Panel The account edit panel is what is displayed when you
have opened an editable account. This panel displays all of the transactions
contained in the account, the balances (cleared and uncleared), and a panel
used to edit the selected transaction (if any).
Creating New Transactions: You may create a new transaction in the current
account by pressing the Control and N keys together.
Transaction Entry The transaction entry panel is used to edit transactions. It
is displayed at the bottom of the edit-account panel when a transaction is selected from
the list of transactions.
Transaction auto-completion: Transactions are "auto-completed" simply
by typing in the payee field. With each keystroke, past transactions are searched
for payee's that begin with the text already entered in the payee field for the
current transaction. If a matched transaction is found, the rest of the current
payee field is filled in with the matched payee value. At this point you can either
continue to type, or use the TAB key to continue to the next field. Using the TAB
key in the payee field after an auto-completion on a new transaction will automatically
fill in the rest of the transaction fields with the values of the matched transaction.
Date and Tax-date synchronization: To quickly set the "Tax Date" field
equal to the "Date" field, press the Control and Y keys together
while in one of the date fields.
