This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit PCA-I-203 Fill in fields as you type WITHOUT having to pull up the drop down box.
Since converting to ProContractor I have developed carpal-tunnel syndrome. This is aggravated by the heavy mouse-use in this software. The three dots are very annoying. Allow us to type names in the field - that will auto-populate instead of having to click on the three dots all the time. Allow us to use keyboard in lieu of required mouse clicking in all fields.

Why are there so many emails about this issue?
They actually should have a universal search with an auto-populate like other database-driven software, this would allow search the entire database and go straight to what you are looking for.
Anywhere this are three dots you can use F4 i am a keyboard user and found most of the short cuts and rarely use the mouse.
Yes, being able to use the keyboard in more areas is definitely needed! Some applications allow you to tab thru but stops abruptly. For example, the vendor setup. Why can I tab through all of the top information but must click to the address section and begin again? Having to click on everything is completely inefficient. And yes, it has been voted on by plenty to see it is a valid concern.
Thanks for the tip Roger!!
Good point and one that I believe was requested more than a year to go (it has 97 votes). It is the 2nd most popular suggestion. Viewpoint has this suggestion designated as "Likely but not yet planned". Who knows when or if this will ever get resolved.
You can hit the F4 key while in a field and the query table will pop-up. That may save some time.
