I have multiple accounts that I frequently have to switch between. Whenever possible I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts instead of using the trackpad, is there a keyboard shortcut that will let me switch from one account to another? Thanks!Be sure to add your VOTE, click the little grey triangle under the VOTE count in the banner below, so your vote will count (it may take a moment for your vote to register). (If the triangle is black, your vote has already been counted). Your VOTES matter!
I agree completely - great suggestion!One nice way for Quicken to implement this would be to add a hierarchical Account menu to the Accounts menu (yes, I realize that's redundant sounding). This menu could contain items Banking, Investing, Property & Debt. The Banking submenu would contain items Cash, Credit Card, Savings. Each of these sub-sub menus would contain a list of the (non-hidden) accounts of that type. Making it hierarchical like this would keep the flat account list from getting too long.
The advantage of this approach is that the user could then use the macOS built-in keyboard preferences to assign shortcuts to accounts using whatever scheme they wish, without any constraints imposed by Quicken. It would also eliminate the need for Quicken to develop a whole separate interface for assigning shortcuts.
Thanks. I will add that if they do it this way, they should add a user preference for whether the account is opened in a new window or just switched to in the main window.One nice way for Quicken to implement this would be to add a hierarchical Account menu to the Accounts menu (yes, I realize that's redundant sounding).

But it shouldn't require outside, paid software to do something pretty basic and simple like this. As you wrote higher up in this thread, even if Quicken merely listed the accounts in a menu, it would then be feasible for any user to create keyboard shortcuts built into macOS.RickO said:I used the macro maker Keyboard Maestro to click the sidebar accounts triggered by keyboard combinations. It takes a bit of work to set it up, but it's an adequate workaround for the time being.
