Keyboard shortcuts
The whole list, grouped by what you are doing rather than by which key it happens to be.

Aned Book is built so a billing shift never needs the mouse. Every one of these is live in the software, and the same list is on F1 inside it.

This page is built from the software's own key table, so it cannot describe a shortcut the program does not have — or miss one it does. The list had drifted from the bindings once: Ctrl + K was live, printed in the search box's own placeholder, and absent from the help screen. A shortcut nobody can find is the whole feature wasted.
Press F1 anywhere to see the full list for the screen you are on. The ones used every day: F2 new sale invoice (or jump to the date box if you are already inside one), F3 edit the selected row, F9 save & print, F10 save, Alt+C add a customer or item without leaving the bill, Escape backs out one step at a time.
Press Alt + A in Aned Book and ask in your own words. It runs on your own computer with no internet and no account — these pages are that same help, published so it can be found before you install anything.
