Keyboard shortcuts can be a time saver when you are working in QuickBooks so I’m happy to share keyboard shortcuts for QuickBooks Online (QBO). The keyboard shortcuts will work in Chrome or Firefox.
I recommend using Chrome with QuickBooks Online.
Keyboard Shortcuts for QuickBooks Online In Chrome or Firefox:
Ctrl+Alt+I = Invoice
Ctrl+Alt+W = Write Checks
Ctrl+Alt+X = Expense
Ctrl+Alt+R = Receive Payment
Ctrl+Alt+E = Estimate
Ctrl+Alt+L = Lists
Ctrl+Alt+A = Accounts
Ctrl+Alt+C = Customers
Ctrl+Alt+V = Vendors
Ctrl+Alt+F = Search transactions
Ctrl+Alt+H = Help
On Transaction Pages (Invoice, expense, etc.)
Ctrl+Alt+D = Save & Close
Ctrl+Alt+S = Save & New
Ctrl+alt+M = Save & Send
Ctrl+Alt+X = Exit transaction
Ctrl+Alt+C = Cancel
Calculate — in an amount or quantity field, type in the calculation and hit tab. For example for 2 * 5 = 10, type in 2*5 and hit tab and the result of 10 will be calculated and entered in the field.
Date Shortcuts:
Today –> T YeaR –> Y = beginning of year R = end of year MontH –> M = beginning of month H = end of month WeeK –> W = beginning of week K = end of week + or – –> forward or back quickly
















Wow, these QuickBooks shortcuts are super convenient! It's all about efficiency, right? Speaking of quick actions, have you tried the online tool for quickly clicking the keyboard spacebar? For those who need to use shortcuts quickly, training your hand speed is also necessary.
