You know IBM Maximo has a lot of fields and sometimes can be boring entering data. Here are some keyboard shortcuts that can ease the pain. I have highlighted in bold the most common and useful ones.
- Tab > The most important keyboard shortcut is the TAB key. It allows you to move across fields without using the mouse and also performs data validation and auto-completion.

- Alt + F1 > Display field help for field in focus.
There are few other useful shortcuts to move across applications.
- Alt + C > Go to the Start Center.

- Alt + B > Bulletins
- Alt + R > Reports
- Alt + P > Profile
- Alt + S > Sign Out
- Alt + H > Help
- Alt + R > Return
- Alt + W > Return with Value
Last but not least you can quickly create and save records with these Toolbar Buttons shortcuts.
