Using the Keyboard Commands

Note: Some keyboard shortcuts using the function keys have been reassigned to align with Microsoft standards. For example, F5 which was formerly the shortcut to jump to a document is now the shortcut for Refresh screen. These are denoted by a * and the shortcut's legacy function (if any) is listed in brackets for reference.

You can tell Time to use these legacy keyboard shortcuts. On the Tools menu, select Options, then click General. Select the option "Use old keyboard shortcuts".
