Keyboard Shortcuts are available, on various screens, for users who prefer them as a quick way to perform common actions.
For example, here you can use Ctrl+L to display the screen Record Log for the Details screen of any item.
The abbreviation "Ctrl" refers to the Control Key, usually found at the bottom left of the keyboard and labeled. All the letters refer to keyboard selections. The "down-arrow" refers to the keyboard arrows work pad.
