I found it interesting to discover that there are valuable keyboard
shortcuts available, which are not yet described in the Help File. These
are mostly the very ones I've been crabbing about that I thought were
missing in version 8. They are there, but done in a different way.
I was getting ready to make a suggestion in this regard, but discovered
that my suggestion had been anticipated, and was already implemented!
When I saw in the list of Keyboard Shortcuts that the Alt + shortcuts
didn't include any with letters W, H, S, or D, I thought -- why not use
the Alt key as a replacement for the A key we had been using in version
7 for AH = Add Husband, AW = Add Wife, etc., etc., These shortcuts would
then look like this:
Alt + H Add Husband
Alt + W Add Wife
Alt + S Add Son
Alt + D Add Daughter
I'm happy again! These work fine already in version 8. They are most
valuable when entering data, as it often eliminates the need to go back
and forth between the keyboard and mouse; making it a more efficient way
to do the work.
Thank you developer folks for your keen sense of logic, and ability to
anticipate our needs. You might want to have a talk with your Help File
Editor person, however. :-) The Help File looks quite well done, really
-- I'm only speaking in jest. It would be nice, though, if the
information about these other shortcut key combinations could be added
to the Help File for future updates.
Thanks again!
