   Hi community, we've recently released shortcuts in new invoicing that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with the use of your keyboard. 

   We've added small prompts to highlight these shortcut combinations in product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can view them all on Xero Central. 

   While save options were explored as part of this work, the only keyboard shortcut right now is Save & close (Alt-Shift-C).

   Another option you may want to test for yourself is the '/i' keyboard shortcut. As new invoicing has auto save when you're ready to add another invoice, you could simply type '/i' on your screen. This will open the global search in the blue header with options to go to All invoice, or Create new invoice which you could either click or use Tab to select.

   I appreciate this isn't a direct solution to what's been asked here and we'll continue to track and update if there are any more changes to share, here. Thanks

   Is this still the state of this? My employer just switched from Reckon (the desktop one, not the cloudy one) to Xero, and I've entered one invoice so far, and immediately went looking for where to change this setting... Like others have mentioned, we also enter in batches. I did not anticipate that I would have to faff about with extra clicks... In Reckon, I rarely touched the mouse - tab and enter did 90% of the navigation. Having to move my hand off the keyboard is going to slow me down far more than I expected.
