TallyPrime Shortcut Keys

Shortcut keys are a set of one or more keys that help to activate a function without the mouse. Short cuts invoke a command in Tally software as an alternative to mouse clicks or contentious use of Enter Key.

In TallyPrime there are shortcuts for almost all functions. This means that you can use Tally software without touching the mouse, which will help you in faster data entry, easy navigation, easy report viewing, easy printing, export-import of data etc.
