POS Keyboard Shortcuts
Overview
Cashier hotkeys for the POS screen — designed for fast checkout without lifting hands from the keyboard.
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Focus Barcode/Search
F2 jumps focus to the product search/barcode input from anywhere on the POS.
2
Pay & Complete
F9 or Ctrl + Enter opens the payment modal with the current cart total preselected.
3
Hold Sale
F4 parks the current cart so you can serve another customer. Recall held sales with F5.
4
Apply Discount
F8 opens the discount panel — fixed amount or percentage.
5
Clear Cart
Esc with cart focused asks for confirmation, then clears.
6
Customer
F3 attaches a customer to the sale (or creates a new one inline).
Tips & Best Practices
Tip: Train new cashiers on F2 + F9 first — those two cover ~90% of cash sales.
Tip: A USB barcode scanner sends keypress events directly into the focused input. F2 guarantees scans always go to the cart.
