Has anyone programmed custom hot keys/shortcuts within Business Central?
As an example, in a purchase invoice have a hot key to input a set GL account, item number, description, etc.

    You can also use Recurring Purchase lines for this need:

    Hi,
     
    Please also check the Microsoft Document about an overview of some of the shortcut key combinations that you can use when you're working with Business Central.
     
    Best Regards,

    Unfortunately, as far as I know there is no easy way. The shortcut key is only used on buttons (actions) and cannot enter data.
    More details: ShortcutKey Property

    Unless you write the code to input data in the action, and then press the shortcut key to execute the action, this should be possible.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
