Menu Keyboard Commands
The EndNote menus display equivalent key commands next to many menu commands, so you can execute commands without taking your hands off the keyboard to use a mouse. You can use the following tables as a quick reference.
All commands are not always available to you. For example, if no references are highlighted in the Library window, the Edit References and Move References to Trash commands are not available from the References menu.
These tables list only those commands with a keyboard equivalent. Not all menu commands have a corresponding keystroke.
