keyboard short cuts for windows10/11

Many years ago Quicken had a short cut (control+page up or page down) that would move the highlighted transaction earlier or later by one month. It doesn't work anymore so does anyone know of another way to do this?

I found a printout of all the shortcuts from years ago but can't find that for the current version. Does anyone know of such a thing now?

Thanks for the reply

    Also, check to see if your Keyboard Mappings preference is correctly set for Quicken Standard or Windows Standard: Edit > Preferences > Setup > Keyboard Mappings.

    Sometimes, when the Quicken version is updated, one or more Preference settings will be changed so it's always a good idea after doing a version update to check all your Preferences to see if they are still correct. (The one change that sometimes happens that concerns me the most is the Backup settings. Imagine my surprise when I first found this out as I was looking for my automatic backup files and found that Quicken had stopped doing automatic backups because my Preferences for it were changed!)

    Thanks, I guess they took this short cut out. It was very useful in jumping last months payment.

    CTRL+PAGE UP or CTRL G looks like as close as you’ll get.

    Or you can click on the little calendar in the Date field and click on the arrows next to the month to move to the same day on the next or previous month.

    Big thanks to Boatnmanic! Setting this preference to windows vs Quicken worked. You don't know how long I have missed this feature and all it was was this setting!

    But! After making the change to windows standard to get the page up/dn for a complete month jump, I found that the CTL X short cut to move directly to and from a transfer account doesn't work. So, you can't have it all! What a disappointment.

    Have you tried CTRL-Shift-X instead? That's what's indicated when I right-click a transfer transaction and look for "Go to matching transfer"
