Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? to see every shortcut for the screen you are on, move between apps with g and a letter, and work the till from the keyboard.

See the shortcuts

Press ? anywhere in Voltix (outside a text field) to open the list of keyboard shortcuts. It shows the keys for the screen you are on first, then the ones that work everywhere. Press Esc or ? again to close it.

Note. Shortcuts never fire while you are typing in a field, so a letter you type always goes into the field. A barcode scanner never sets one off either.

On a Mac, Ctrl is the ⌘ key and Alt is ⌥.

Everywhere

Keys	What they do
?	Show the keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl K	Search everything
/	Put the cursor in the search box of the list on screen
n	New document on the list on screen (the same as its New button)
Esc	Close the open panel or dialog

Go to an app

Press g, let go, then the letter:

Keys	Goes to
g then h	Home
g then s	Sales
g then i	Inventory
g then p	Purchasing
g then f	Finance
g then r	Reports
g then b	Business partners
g then ,	Settings

If you have unsaved changes on the screen you are leaving, Voltix asks first.

At the till

On a computer keyboard, the till has keys for the things you do most. The function keys also work while the cursor is in the product search.

Keys	What they do
F2	Add one to the quantity of the selected line (or the line you added last)
Shift F2	Take one off that quantity
F3 or Ctrl S	Go to the product search
F4	Pick the customer
F7	Discount on the selected line (or the line you added last)
F8	Discount on the whole order
F9	Hold the order
F10 or Ctrl Space	Payment (or save, for a quotation or sales order)
Alt N	New cart
Ctrl D	Discount
Ctrl N	Note
Ctrl A	Attachments

Tip. To change several lines at once, tick them first: F2 and F7 then act on every ticked line.

Leaving a screen with unsaved changes

When you have changed something and not saved it, Voltix asks You have unsaved changes. Leave without saving? before you go to another screen, use the browser's back button, reload the page or close the tab. Choose Stay to keep working, or Leave without saving to drop the changes.

Forms for a new record (a new product, account, rule, plan, schedule and so on) open in a panel on the right, the full screen on a phone. Closing that panel with Esc, the X or Cancel after you typed something asks the same question.
