How do I 'go to' the matching transaction for a transfer?

Question

This topic has been raised at least a few times over the past few years, and the answer always seems to be, "You used to be able to do this in Quicken, but you can't any more." I've been using Quicken for Windows for decades, and have always been able to go to a matching transaction in a different account by right-clicking on the name of the linked account in the category window, and still can. However, I'm helping someone learn to use Quicken Premium for Windows, and this option seems to be missing in her installation (we are  both current on our program updates). I've looked through all the options and don't see any setting that would account for this.

So, my question: why can I do this in my installation but she can't in hers, and how do I enable this in her installation? If this has in fact been removed from Quicken, it was a grievous error and should be reversed.

Thank you,

Terry

You can also right click on the specific transaction to bring up the transaction menu showing "Go to matching transfer".

BTW, I just checked with Standard Menus view selected and then with Classic Menus view selected.  The transaction menus for both were identical with "Go to matching transfer" visible and functional.  Just make sure the menu you are using for this is the specific transaction menu, not the account register menu.

Thanks Not. I bet that's it. Mine is set to Quicken Standard. I'll check my friend's when I see her next,

I still use Ctrl-delete, Shift-delete, and Shift-insert for copy, cut. and paste, finding them much easier than Ctrl-X/C/V, finding the delete and insert keys easier to target than the letter keys interspersed amongst all the other letter keys. Another example (IMO) of Microsoft making things more difficult for users, not easier. The old system wasn't broken, but they insisted on 'fixing' it anyway. At least the old system still works. They often disable the old way when they make changes for the worse.

Under EDIT, Preferences, Setup, Keyboard Mappings … I'm using "Quicken Standard" and CTRL-X still works for me.

Which makes me suspect that CTRL-Shift-X is if one is using "Windows Standard".
