Hi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.
Thanks for all contributing, and staying plugged into updates on this idea.
Being upfront, we will continue to field feedback and revise this idea, but we don’t have plans for adding the ability to set your own default any time in the short term.

Some times I prepare invoices overnight but do not want to send them out until after lunch the next day. Example, I may work at night and finish doing invoices at say 11pm. I do not want my client to wake up and the first email of their day is an invoice from my firm. I would rather send it through after lunch that day.
Very stressful.
Additionally, given you were able to run both invoices systems, why the mandatory forcing of users onto the new system. Why not let us continue to be able to use the old system...?
This is doing my head in too.

Incredibly frustrated.
