Calculations preferences info:
Assign a key to perform a specific calculation while in an amount field and when using pop-up calculators. For example, to make a quick calculation to add 2.5% sales tax, you can assign the S key to perform the calculation of multiplying by 1.025. You can assign up to 10 calculations for different keys.
Setup a calculation:
- Go to the program's Calculations preferences.
- Select the math operator for the calculation.
- Set the amount for the calculation.
- Click "Cancel" or press Escape (Esc) to cancel creating a new transaction or to cancel any changes made to an existing transaction.
Note:
The keys are case sensitive.
The following keys are not available for assigning shortcuts due to being used of other purposes:
- Any math operator (+, -, *, x, /, =, etc).
- A - Used to enter the current amount in pop-up calculators.
- C - Used to clear the amount in pop-up calculators.
