Hotkeys and buttons in views

Using hotkeys instead of the mouse lets you work more efficiently and faster. It also reduces your risk of getting RSI.

Did you know that over 90% of Profit can be operated using hotkeys? Some examples:

  • To leave a window: press Esc.
  • To display a filter: press Ctrl+F.
  • To add a new item: press Ctrl+N.

Profit displays the hotkeys with the buttons or actions. To see them, hover with your mouse over the button or action (do not click the mouse button). The hotkey combination is then displayed.

Hotkeys for actions in views:

  1. Go to: CRM / Organisation/person / Organisation/person.
  2. Place the mouse pointer on an action (do not click the mouse button).

    Profit displays the hotkey. You can start any action using <Ctrl>+<Action number>, in this case Ctrl+1.
