How to use cut and paste for memos and other items and NOT the full transaction
Dave S
Often times I have a note in the MEMO line of the check transaction register that I want to copy and use elsewhere or use CUT and move it elsewhere. In MAC, using Control C and Control V do not work and cause the category list to appear. FAIL. So what's the answer?

Actually, I'm using Quicken Deluxe and Windows 7 on an MAC (Mojave10 O/S) using Parallels 14.1Home Edition. So here is the solution. In Quicken, at the top of the window, select EDIT and in the drop-down select SETUP. Then change the KEYBOARD MAPPINGS setting from QUICKEN STANDARD to WINDOWS. Now using CONTROL X (cut) or CONTROL V (paste) or CONTROL C (copy), all works as I wished. Just highlight what I want to cut or copy first.

It's Command+C and Command+V in the Mac world, and that works in the various fields (including memo.)

It's
Command-C
and
Command-V
(
not Control
) on a Mac. (In Quicken and every Mac program that supports copying and pasting.) And those command keyboard shortcuts
do
work. (Note that you have to double-click the transaction to open it for editing before you can copy from it or paste into it.)

@Dave S
I'm confused, but I'm glad you have it sorted out to your liking.
So you're using Quicken Deluxe
for Windows
? (You didn't mention that, and you posted the question under a Quicken Mac category.) If so, that's a Quicken Windows issue, or a Parallels issue, not a Quicken Mac issue. (Quicken Mac's Edit menu doesn't even have the Setup selection you describe.)
