    Keyboard Shortcuts

    What has happened to Apple Mac keyboard shortcuts with Reunion 10? I cannot find one for command-S for Save, as in Reunion 9. Now it opens the Source list. And when in Edit Person view, I cannot seem to use Command 1, 2, 3, 4 etc to bring up Name, Events, Facts, Notes etc as in Reunion 9. I really miss them, but cannot find substitutes in the Short Cuts list. Judith

    I am wrong on the Command 1,2,3 etc. It seems to work now I posted! However Command-S does not save. What will save so I do not have to move my curser to the Done?

      Hi Judith,
      Command-S did not "save" in Reunion 9. It opened the Source List.
      This hasn't changed in Reunion 10.
      When in Edit Person (Reunion 10), the Enter key is the equivalent of the Done button.
      The manual explains why Command-S isn't the traditional "save" function. To learn more, click the "?" button and search for "saving changes" (without the quotes).

        Hi Frank. I hate to argue with the experts and the makers of Reunion, but I just opened my old Reunion 9 file, added some notes in the note area, and clicked command-S, and it saved and closed the window, and took me back to family view. I miss that. Now I have to use my trackpad and move the cursor to Done. Sadly.

          Both of you are correct.

          If you are in the Edit Person window, you can either click the Save button or do a Command-S or just hit either the Enter or Return key; four ways to actuate the save. If you are anywhere else, Command-S opens the Source list.

            Well, gosh, my Reunion 10 must be flakey. When I am in the Edit person view in Notes, command-S opens the source window, and return (enter) takes me down a line. I agree when entering data in name, events, facts etc, but not in Notes. Command-S in Reunion 9 in the Note area saved and closed the window. That is the thing I miss and wish for.

              My apologies. I meant that both of you are correct with regard to version 9. What you are missing here is that version 10 behaves like a normal database and saves as you go, so there is no real reason to have a save command in the Edit Person mode......

                Except that it is easier! clicking command-S is easier when you are typing notes. Using Done requires one to move the cursor with the trackpad over to Done. Not as quick and easy. Not that I am moving back to Reunion 9. Not yet anyway ;-)

                  As Frank said CMD-S works in the Edit Person window in Reunion 9.

                  In Reunion 10, if you're editing notes and want to save the changes and go back to the family view you have three keyboard shortcuts that will get you there...

                  1. the Enter key.
                  2. CMD-Return.
                  3. the ESC key.

                  All of the above do the same as clicking the Done button.

                    Thank you Greg. Enter only works for Name, Events, Facts, but the other 2 work for Notes. Love that. Thank you. I was looking for a keyboard shortcut and could not find it in the Shortcuts list. Thank you for giving me the answer. Judith

                      On my USB-wired Apple keyboard model A1243, the Enter key (far right corner next to the numeric keypad) also works for Notes type fields as stated by Gregg.
                      What model keyboard are you using, Judith?
