Form Shortcuts

These keyboard shortcuts are designed to help you at the form level, with actions such as opening and saving forms.

Note: Where the key combination is different in the web client, that combination is given in parentheses ( ). Where there is no equivalent key combination in the web client, it is indicated by (n/a). Otherwise, the key combination is the same in both the Windows client and the web client.
