SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Please can someone design me a Sage Keyboard? I want the 'tab' key to be on the right-hand side of my keypad, I also want 'F' keys to be over there.

I want my Sage Keyboard to be configured predominantly for numbers and F keys, letters being less significant.

I am right-haned so it all needs to be on the right, so its near my mouse. So I guess you'll have to develop a left-handed one for lefty's too.

I also want two special up/down 'penny' keys. So when Sage works out the vat incorrectly to 1p I can press my penny-up or penny-down key to adjust it by a penny, rather than have to overtype it.

I want a 'copy' key and a 'paste' key (Ctrl C and Ctrl V are giving me RSI!)

Does anyone else have any special keyboard requests?

Naturally, I reserve the right to at least £5 commission on every Sage Keyboard sold!

Not using the mouse is the best way to speed up data entry.

There are some specialist keyboards out there called chording keyboards, these work by pressing more than one key at a time to type a letter.
The Bat - http://www.infogrip.com/product_view.as ... dNumber=12 not only can you do all the function keys, but everything else with just one hand!
Frog Pad - http://www.frogpad.com/
Twidler - currently awaiting relaunch doesn't even need a desk - http://www.handykey.com/

Using a program like Autohotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/ , you could reassign different things/actions to a standard keyboard so + and - could be add - sub a penny
up arrow - F6
down arrow - ShiftF6
Numeric keypad enter - tab
Insert - Paste
Del - Copy

There is also an application that provides a chording keyboard using a standard numeric pad
