Keyboard shortcuts

The shortcuts that work in InvoBill on a laptop or desktop, and the ones the in-app cheat sheet lists that do not match.

Shortcuts help on a laptop or desktop keyboard. On a phone you do not need them. These are the ones that work, checked against the app.

Works everywhere

  • Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on Mac): open the command palette to jump to a page or action.
  • Ctrl + / or Shift + ?: open the shortcut cheat sheet.
  • F1: open Help.
  • Esc: close the window or dialog you are in.
  • Alt + N: new invoice.
  • Alt + H: Dashboard. Alt + I: Invoices. Alt + P: Products. Alt + C: Parties.

In Quick Sale

  • F2: open the payment window. Esc closes it.

Blitz Mode

If you turn on Blitz Mode (Settings > Blitz Mode), Alt + 1 to Alt + 9 jump between fields on the invoice form for fast entry.

Things that do not work

  • Ctrl + P opens the browser's print for the whole page. It does not print the invoice document. Use the invoice's own Print button.
  • Ctrl + N, Ctrl + S, Ctrl + F and F11 are not InvoBill shortcuts. Older help pages listed them by mistake.
  • F2 does nothing outside Quick Sale.
  • The in-app cheat sheet also lists Alt + N as Add New Line Item, Alt + S as Save Invoice and Alt + P as Print Invoice. That does not match how the keys behave. Trust this list.
