Working with Tables

This topic describes the general features for working with tables in the Maconomy client, as well as the keyboard shortcuts that you can use when working with a table.

A lot of data in Maconomy is presented in tables. Accordingly, there are many features that make working with tables easier. You can do almost anything you want to do with a table with either the mouse by clicking and dragging, or with the keyboard through a number of keyboard shortcuts.

Editing and Copying in Tables

"One click editing" means that an editable table switches to editing mode as soon as you click in it or navigate to it.

To copy the contents of a read-only (non-editable) cell, press the F2 key to switch the cell to "selection mode."

To copy parts of a table (multiple cells), you make a rectangular selection that contains the table cells that you want to copy. You can make the selection in two ways:
  • Click and drag with the mouse.
  • Press SHIFT+CTRL on your keyboard.

After you select the cells, you can use CTRL+C to copy them, or you can right-click with the mouse and click Copy on the context menu.
