Shortcuts v2.0. Modern Shortcuts for the Modern Age. [ Updated list of shortcuts for Sage X3 Version 12 ]

3 minute read time.

For today's blog we are going to take a quick look at the updated shortcuts for version 12. Every once in a Blue Moon the R&D department will update the shortcut combos, just as I am about to show. Introduced in version 12 patch 18 was an updated list of shortcut commands. If you want, you can find these listed in the online help (for those on patch 18+) or you can follow along or bookmark this post for later use or print out the end piece. I made the list in a nice neat grid for easy copy/pasting. Its at the end of the post if you don’t want to wait for it.

As with every change they make in Sage X3, I am not 100% sure what prompted the updates but here they are. I do know that some of them are the same, but some have changed so make sure to read it thoroughly.

Here is some examples of what I am talking about. First up is the Ring panel stuff, these are listed below.

SideNote: I know that the ESC+CTRL+P looks hard, but if you stretch your fingers super wide you might be able to hit them with one hand. :P

Next, I have the navigation for records. These refer to stuff like next record or previous record.

Right underneath that we have the tabs for the screens. So, each tab will be a number. This also is automatically picked up to increment numbers when you add custom tabs like EDI. If you added EDI tab after Lines (for example) it would be ESC+5. This can go up to 0. 0 comes after 9 which makes no sense until you look at your keyboard. Then it makes a lot of sense.

Then we have some quick navigation. I am not sure how often these would be use, but here they are.

the image shows up super tiny so make sure to click on it to see a blown up version of it.

We also have the online help (which I am pretty sure did not change).

I have no picture because its just ESC+F1. You get function help when you have no focus (no cursor on a field) and you get field help if you are focused on a field.

You all get the idea and I wanted to keep it kind of short. I have a more complete list below.

 

 

 

P.S.
