Keyboard shortcuts in Quicken
Many shortcuts require that you press two keys. For example, "CTRL+A" means hold down the CTRL key and press the letter A.
You have the option to select either Windows or Quicken keyboard scheme for CTRL + Z/X/C/V.
Shortcuts do not work in browser-based Quicken features.
