Debbie described that she enters these tasks using just the keyboard and tabbing.

: Personally I use the tab button to move from one cell/field to the next. Prior to this new addition I would place the cursor in the type column, then type t, for task. Access would enter the appropriate word, i.e. task. I would then tab twice to get to the diagnosis code cell. I type in t, and tracheostomy-none was intuitively entered. Tab three times to get to the next type cell. Hit t again, and task shows up. Keep tabbing and entering h for hemodialysis, p for peritoneal dialysis, b for bipap, and i for isolation and you are done. This method is SO much quicker. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]]

**I find that once you enter the first task under the fill option, that task is eliminated from the drop-down. ie:trach none enterred the next prompt is hemodialysis automatically so you do not have to scroll or hunt around.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 14:08, 5 November 2010 (CDT)

According to her this takes about 3 seconds; I did a little test of this, and while I don't do this every day it still only took me about 10. That is faster than I could do with the pre-entered tasks and the touchpad, and about the same as I could do with a mouse.

I am happy to hear that some of you are adopting tabbing in your data entry as it is definitely faster than using the mouse, but I have no idea how many people are tabbing vs. mousing.
