Many of ListPro’s functions are accessible from the keyboard. In addition to the regular menu accelerators, the following keyboard usage is recognized:
The tab key may be used to tab between the List Hierarchy pane, the List Items pane and the Notes pane (if it is showing).
If direct editing is being used in the List Items pane, the tab key may be used to tab from one field to the next. If the tab key is used when direct editing the last field of the last item in the list, a new blank item will be added and the first field in the list will be opened for direct editing.
The Space Bar may be use to start direct editing on the currently selected item.
The up and down arrow keys may be used as with any list to move the current selection up or down in the list. If the control key is down when an arrow key is used, the focus item will move up or down, but the selection will not change. The space bar may subsequently be used to select or deselect the focus item. If the shift key is down when an arrow key is used, the item the focus is moved to will be selected in addition to the currently selected items. The Page Up, Page Down, Home and End keys also function as usual for a list.
The left or right arrow keys may be used to select an individual column of the current focus item in the list. The focus rectangle will change to surround only the focus column rather than the entire item. If you press the space bar when an individual column has the focus, that field will be opened for direct editing, unless it is a check or flag field. If it is a check or flag field, the field will be toggled.
If the current focus item has indented items under it, the plus (+) and minus (-) keys may be used to expand or collapse the item’s indented subitems.
The Enter key (as well as Alt-Enter) may be used to open the Edit List Item window for the current focus item.
The ‘X’ key may be used to toggle the Flag field of the focus item.
The ‘C’
key may be used to toggle the Checkbox field of the focus item.
Using the Keyboard section should say that you can use <ctrl>; to quickly add the current date and time to any note (in the Notes pane only).
