Tips & Tricks

Cut, Copy, and Paste Shortcuts

Standard keyboard shortcuts for Cut, Copy and Paste will work on selected items in your daily listing. For example, you can easily copy a selection of foods and paste them into a different day. You can also paste the results into a text editor.

Keyboard accelerators for food entry

There are also many ways to accelerate through data entry with the keyboard. Control-E (Command-E on Max OS X) will bring up the food search dialog.

If the top ranked search result is what you're looking for, hitting enter will auto-select it. When you select a food, the keyboard focus automatically transfers to the amount field. Hitting enter after typing an amount will automatically add the food. Tab will select the Measure menu and you can use the arrow keys to page through them. You can actually enter foods without ever touching the mouse.
