Calculator Quick Keys / Shortcuts

Does anyone know if they have added back a quick command to paste from the calculator to the line you are on in the return? I used to use CTRL A to bring the calculator up, then after using it i could just hit "P," and it would paste or put the final number on the calculator into the line I am working in on the return..... I use my mouse as little as possible, and quick commands save me soooo much time, but I can't find one for this.

I haven't found any quick command.  The only work around I know of is hitting Tab, using arrow keys to highlight Paste and then hitting Space.  But that for me is still quicker than using a mouse.

Preparing taxes is not my life, but my life is amazing because I prepare taxes.

I'll have to try that. Prior to 2021 the calculator was great! Then the wonderful engineers had to tinker with everything and screw it all up! 😞

The calculator in Lacerte is very cool.  On an entry field, press the + key (on number pad or keyboard) and do the calculation that you want.  Then hold <Shift>F6 and voila' - it's in your entry field.
