Everything in Owlvix works with the keyboard. A few keys save a lot of clicks when you enter invoices, bills and orders all day.
The keys
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| ? | Opens (and closes) the help on any page |
| Escape | Closes the help, a menu, a picker or a dialog |
| Tab / Shift+Tab | Next / previous field |
| Letters | In a search field (customer, product, supplier) start typing to search |
| ↑ ↓ then Enter | Move through a list and pick |
| Enter or Space | Opens a date field's calendar |
| ← → / ↑ ↓ | Previous or next day / week in the calendar |
Try it
-
Press ? for help. On any page. Press Escape to close it.
Press ? for help -
Type to search. In a field like Customer, just type a few letters. The list filters as you type.
Type to search -
Pick with the arrows and Enter.
-
Dates by keyboard. Tab to a date, press Enter to open the calendar, move with the arrow keys.
Tab, and dates by keyboard -
Enter picks, Escape closes. Enter chooses the day; Escape closes without changing it.
Enter picks, Escape closes
Good to know
- Typing in a text field never opens the help, so ? is safe in notes and descriptions.
- Buttons and links work with Tab to reach them and Enter to press them.
