Keyboard shortcuts

Langbyrde can be used from the keyboard alone. This page lists every shortcut. On a Mac, press ⌘ (Command) where this page says Ctrl, and ⌥ (Option) where it says Alt.

Press Ctrl+/ (⌘/ on a Mac). The Keyboard shortcuts sheet opens. It lists the shortcuts that work right now: This screen first, when the screen has its own, then Everywhere. Press Escape to close it.

Shortcuts that work everywhere

  • Ctrl+K (⌘K) opens the command palette. Type a few letters of a screen, an action or a record, then press Enter.
  • Ctrl+Shift+N (⌘⇧N) opens the New menu.
  • Ctrl+Shift+E (⌘⇧E) opens a new expense, from any screen. It needs a company open.
  • Ctrl+/ (⌘/) shows the keyboard shortcuts.
  • F1 opens this help.

Make text bigger or smaller

  • Ctrl and + (⌘ and +) makes text bigger.
  • Ctrl and - (⌘ and -) makes it smaller.
  • Ctrl+0 (⌘0) sets it back to 100 %.

Each press moves one step: 80, 90, 100, 115, 130, 150, 175 or 200 %. The size is remembered on this computer. You can also pick it in Settings › Appearance; see Appearance. In the desktop app the same three commands are in the View menu as Zoom In, Zoom Out and Actual Size.

Reconcile

On the Reconcile screen, with a statement line selected:

  • Ctrl+Enter (⌘↵) approves the suggested match and moves to the next line.
  • Alt+R (⌥R) rejects the suggestion your focus is on.
  • Alt+U (⌥U) undoes the approved match your focus is on.
  • Alt+E (⌥E) shows why the match was suggested.
  • The arrow keys move between lines.

See Reconciling.

Cashflow ledger

While a suggested match is open on the Cashflow ledger, Alt+R (⌥R) rejects the suggested record your focus is on. See The cashflow ledger.

Other keys

  • In a comment box on a record's Comments tab, Ctrl+Enter (⌘↵) adds the comment.
  • In the company switcher, Ctrl+Enter (⌘↵), or Ctrl-click (⌘-click), opens a company in a new window.
  • In the rail on the left, the up and down arrows, Home and End move between rows.
  • In lists and tables, start typing to jump to a matching row.
  • Escape closes a menu, a dialog, a drawer or the command palette without changing anything.

Shortcuts that change records do nothing in read-only mode. There is no shortcut that locks the app; use Lock Langbyrde now in the command palette when an app lock is set.
