Glad you found that. Its one of those features I've used heavily for a
while (as pointed out, its a feature you can use with the date as well and
has been around for as long as I can remember). The other feature I use
enough to notice, pertaining to the check number field, is the asterisk key
to change a numbered check to one that needs To Print. I have a bad
tendancy to click OK when checks are printing so if an error happens in the
print run its easiest for me to just tell the check to print again in the
register.

I think the most useful set of keyboard shortcuts are for
date fields. They basically use a mnemonic of the first
letter of the action goes back, and the last letter goes
forward. Hence:

w - back to 1st day of current Week.
k - forward to last day of current weeK.
m - back to 1st day of current Month.
h - forward to last day of current montH.
y - back to 1st day of current Year.
r - forward to last day of curreny yeaR.

(repeated strokes on these keys moves a full
increment).

And, as mentioned, the +/- keys move forward and
back one day at a time.

This has been in QB forever...
