Question
What keyboard shortcuts are available in Cataloging?
Answer
As with most Windows programs, there are very helpful keyboard equivalents in Voyager that can be used instead of clicking with the mouse. Keyboard equivalents usually begin with the ALT key followed by the underlined letter of a command word in the menu. Keyboard equivalents also work with tabs (MARC, System, etc.) within Bibliographic or Holdings records by using the ALT key plus the underlined key on the tab.
Note: In order to see the underlined letter available for keyboard commands at all times (before pressing the ALT key), you may need to adjust your Windows display configuration. Consult your Windows documentation for help.
There are also some predefined keyboard commands in the Voyager Cataloging client that use the CTRL key plus a letter. These can be found in the menu that lists all the commands when they are available. For example, in the Record menu there is the command to Save to Database. This command can be performed with the keyboard by choosing either Alt+R,V or Ctrl+B.
If you have problems using special keys, contact your I.T. Department for assistance.
