Sell and find your way around without the mouse

The keyboard can take a sale from the first item to the last, and F1 opens a guide on every screen. An administrator can change or switch off the shortcuts for the whole shop.

3 things it does

Finish a whole sale from the keyboard, without the mouse

In every edition

Can I finish a whole sale without touching the mouse? Yes. A keyboard map completes the whole sale, and the F1 key shows the shortcuts this user is allowed to use.

Without it

Reaching for the mouse in the middle of a busy queue breaks the rhythm at the counter. Each stop slows the next customer down.

With it

You take a sale from the first item to the last using only the keyboard. Press F1 to see the shortcuts you are allowed to use.

The sales screen can be used from start to finish with the keyboard alone. A shortcut you are not allowed to use is left off your list. Press F1 on the sales screen to see the shortcuts that work for you. The list shows only what you can use.

Press F1 on any screen and find the shortcut you need

In every edition

How do I see which keyboard shortcuts I can use on this screen? Press F1 on any screen to open the shortcut guide. Type in its search box to find a shortcut, and only the shortcuts you may use are listed.

Without it

A shortcut saves a trip to the mouse, but only if you remember it. At the counter, a forgotten shortcut sends you hunting through menus while the queue waits.

With it

Press F1 and a guide opens over the screen you are on. Type a word for what you want to do, and the matching shortcuts appear.

F1 works on every screen and opens the shortcut guide. The guide has a search box at the top, so you type a word to narrow the list. The list shows only the shortcuts you are allowed to use. A shortcut you have changed shows its new letter both in the guide and beside the button it works on. Press Esc to close the guide and go back to your work.

Press F1 on any screen for its shortcuts, and search them when you forget one.

Change or switch off the shop's shortcuts from one tab

In every edition

Can I change which key does what on the sales screen? An administrator can change, switch off and restore the default shortcut keys for the whole shop from the Shortcuts tab. Every change is recorded.

Without it

The software comes with shortcuts already set. Your shop may want one changed for its own work, or switched off altogether.

With it

An administrator can change, switch off or restore the default shortcuts for the whole shop. Each change is recorded.

A shortcut can be changed, switched off, or put back to the default. The change applies to the whole shop, not to one role. Each change is recorded with its old setting and its new one.

Change a shortcut key for the shop, and put the default back if needed.
Other ways people ask this
  • change pos shortcuts for the whole shop
