Select one to position immediately on any account. }] }] [tr { [td { F3 }] [td { Pick Field Value }] [td { Pick a value for the current field. For example, use this field to select an account when on a transaction. When on a date field it pops up a calendar. Many other fields pop up a list of allowed values. }] }] [tr { [td { F4 }] [td { Contract }] [td { Moves to an outer window. The outer window will be above or to the left of the current window, depending on the window arrangement. This is the opposite of F6. This is very similar to the DOS NewViews [qw_menu_command Document Contract] command. }] }] [tr { [td { F5 }] [td { Commit Row }] [td { Commit the current row in a table. This is the same as the [qw_menu_command File Commit] comand. A row is automatically committed when you move off it so you typically use F5 only when you want to committhecurrent row without moving off of it. In DOS NewViews this was the [qw_menu_command Edit Record] command. }] }] [tr { [td { F6 }] [td { Expand }] [td { Moves to an inner window to display more detailed information about the current item. The inner window will be below or to the right of the current window. This is the opposite of F4. This is very similar to the DOS NewViews [qw_menu_command Document Expand] command. }] }] [tr { [td { F7 }] [td { Maximize Window }] [td { Maximizes the current window. Use this key when you want to concentrate on the information in a particular window. This key will maximize the size of the window to take up the entire screen. Use F8 to restore the windows when you are finished. You can also maximize a window by clisking on the maximize button in the upper right corner or by double-clicking on the title bar, but doing this has aslightly different effect. The maximize button maximizes the current window only tothe size of its outer window, not the whole screen. }] }] [tr { [td { F8 }] [td { Restore All Windows }] [td { Restores all windows to a restored state. If you have been maximizing windows and have become confused, this key is your friend. }] }] [tr { [td { F9 }] [td { Journal/Ledger Switch }] [td { Switches from a transaction on a journal to a posting on an account, or vice versa. If you are on a transaction (pink table) you move to a posting on an account (green table) that corresponds to the transaction. Pressing this key when on the posting, takes you back to the transaction. Note that a transaction can post to several accounts so the account you switch to from a transaction will depend on the current field. For example, if you are on the debit account field whenyou press F9, you move the debit account, but if you are on the credit account then youmovetothecredit account. }] }] [tr { [td { F10 }] [td { Activate Microsoft Menu }] [td { This key has been appropriated by Microsoft to activate the Microsoft menu. The Microsoft menu is optional in NewViews so this key has no effect unless the Microsoft menu has been turned on. You can turn it on with the [qw_menu_command Window View "Menu Bar" Display] command and turn it off with [qw_menu_command Window View "Menu Bar" Hide]. }] }] }] }
