Document listing keyboard shortcuts that can be used in NXT.

Keyboard shortcuts can be extremely helpful for rapid data entry into tables. A concise list of helpful shortcuts such as f3 for the current date would be very helpful.

    I completely agree that having a quick-reference guide for NXT keyboard shortcuts would be a huge time-saver for our data entry team, and other staff members working constantly in NXT. It allows for rapid data entry, especially for things like dropping in dates with F5 in Database View.

    I use shortcuts all the time - especially the F3 for date and F7 for tables. I hate getting the "add ^ " message when I'm in NXT and forget that the function keys don't work.

    I was just hunting for a list of NXT shortcuts, I can't believe this isn't a feature in NXT yet! I really hope we get some shortcuts. I use the date, and the date with timestamp constantly in Database view and it really saves time.
