Note: The Ctrl+f functionality works differently if you are in an explorer or if you are using an incident or opportunity report. When using an explorer (such as the Reports Explorer), the Ctrl+f shortcut brings up the Find feature. From an incident or opportunity report, the Ctrl+f shortcut brings up the Forward feature so that you can forward the record that is selected in the report.
Ribbon Tab: You can mouse over buttons on ribbons and tool tips which will display shortcut keys. To display shortcut keys on the ribbon:
- While editing a record or working in an explorer, press Alt plus the first letter of the ribbon tab that you want to display shortcut keys for. For example, press Alt+h to display the shortcut keys on the Home tab of the ribbon.
- Type the keys associated with a particular button to perform the button's action. After using this method to perform an action, the shortcut keys no longer display.
