Give me a Shortcut! Series Part 4 - Step away from the mouse!

How can you save a ton of time on the Tracks Work Screen? By not using your mouse... hide it from yourself and after a little practice, you'll be flying through your transactions exclusively using your keyboard!

Just use the following shortcut keys:


Function Keys (to use, simply press the function key on your keyboard)
  • F3 - Item Lookup
  • F4 - Clear the Work Screen
  • F5 - Delete a detail line (an item)
  • F6 - Edit a detail line (this replaces double clicking)
  • F8 - Customer Lookup
  • F11 - More options (see below)
  • F12 - Fast Cash Sale (Print the receipt fast depending on your settings in Workstation Settings!)
  • F9 - Print a standard receipt
More Shortcuts (some of these shortcuts are visible on the Work Screen and some are visible only when you click or press , either way, to use them - just type the letters in the Command Line on the Work Screen)


  • CH - View the customer's history
  • LC - Bring up the last customer
  • R - Return item
  • LI - Sell the Last Item again (Great for those lines of students buying dance tickets!)
  • P - Take payments and pre-payments
  • RP - Reprint the last receipt (Great for when it's crazy and you need to write yourself a note to fix something later!)
  • AC - Add a new customer
  • /C - Add a comment
  • RO - Reprint Old Receipt
  • CC - Create Credit
  • RT - Reverse a transaction

Happy typing!
