Keyboard shortcuts

WhatAmIMissing

Is there a keyboard shortcut to mark a register entry as reconciled e.g. Ctrl (CMD on a Mac)+(shift + any key)?

Jim_Harman

No, but you can click in the transaction's Clr field then select Reconciled.

As I've been using Quicken for over 20 years, I'm well aware of clicking on the CLR field. I'm trying to avoid using the mouse.

Date field keyboard shortcuts

Assuming today's date is May 7th, 2020 and it is shown in the date field and you are using standard US - style dates (this may not work with other date formats) ...

• Type + advances the date by 1 day, 5/8/2020
• Type - subtracts 1 day from the date, 5/6/2020
• Type t resets the date to Today's date, 5/7/2020
• Typing 0501 gives 5/1/2020 (always type it with leading zeros for month and day numbers 01…09, no slashes)
• Typing 123019 gives 12/30/2019 (no slashes)
• Typing 12011999 gives 12/01/1999 (again, no slashes)
• m gives the first day of the month, 5/1/2020
• h gives the last day of the month, 5/31/2020
• y gives the 1st of January of the year, 1/1/2020
• r gives the 31st of December of the year, 12/31/2020
• w gives this week's Sunday, 5/3/2020
• k gives this week's Saturday, 5/9/2020
• typing the same letter again advances to the next / prior interval, e.g. "ww" = 4/26/2020
• combine multiple keystrokes to get to the desired date, e.g., "m-" results in 4/30/2020 (date = 5/7, m = 5/1. - = 4/30)

Thank you all, but a simple answer would have been no.

Jim_Harman

I'm trying to avoid using the mouse.

Alt-e then rlr does it without the mouse.

Personally, I would use the mouse.

WhatAmIMissing

Thanks, but too many keystrokes, I was hoping for something simpler. I'll use the mouse.

Jim_Harman

Yeah that sequence would be more useful for writing a script than anything you would want to type!

You can reduce, but not eliminate mouse clicks by selecting a group of transactions and marking them all as reconciled at once.

Better yet, perform an actual reconcile in every account on a regular basis. Then you never have to manually mark transactions reconciled.
