This document describes a selection of commonly used keyboard shortcuts specific to the Timber application. These shortcuts serve a general purpose across multiple pages and modules.
Important: This is not a complete list of all keyboard shortcuts in Timber. Due to the large number of shortcuts available across different modules and pages, this documentation focuses on the most frequently used shortcuts that work across multiple contexts. Many pages have additional specialized shortcuts specific to their functionality.
How to Find Keyboard Shortcuts
To discover which keyboard shortcuts are available on any page:
Tooltips: Hover your mouse over any action button in the user interface to see its tooltip, which displays the assigned keyboard shortcut (if available).
Access Keys (Alternative): If an action doesn't have a dedicated keyboard shortcut, you can press Alt to display access keys for all actions in the action bar and navigation menu. These access keys provide an alternative way to quickly execute actions without using the mouse.
Note: This list only includes Timber-specific shortcuts. For standard Business Central shortcuts (such as Alt+D for Dimensions, Ctrl+F9 to Release Documents, F9 to Post, etc.), please refer to the official Business Central keyboard shortcuts documentation.
