Keyboard Shortcuts

In Liberty there are many shortcuts you can use to speed up the data entry process by using the keyboard in place of the mouse.

You can use the keyboard to select any menu command on the menu bar or to select buttons in windows or dialog boxes. Press the <Alt> key and then press the letter that is underlined in the menu name or on the button name that contains the command you want.

Example: To select the File menu in Liberty Inventory or Liberty Point of Sale, press the F key while holding down the <Alt> key..

Within an account you can move from tab to tab by pressing the left and the right arrow keys.
