Keyboard Shortcuts

 

The report designer supports many keyboard shortcuts. Using them can speed up the effectiveness of work in creating reports. Some keyboard shortcuts are available both in the Ribbon mode and in the Standard mode. Some of them are available only in the Standard mode (in the Ribbon mode they are duplicated by context commands).
