This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 1st of the new functionality in the User experiences section is access keys with Key Tips in more languages.
Organizations are looking to streamline their operations through AI, automation, and empowering workers with productivity tools. When time to enter data is critical, every keystroke and mouse click counts. Business Central adopts the familiar experience from Microsoft 365 applications, such as Excel and Word, to boost efficiency for keyboard users. Access keys with key tips help users quickly explore, navigate, and activate any action in the action bar, navigation menus, and other user interface (UI) elements.
Enabled for: Users, automatically

Feature Details
You can use access keys with key tips, regardless of your language setting in My Settings. Key tips are optimized for the following languages:
- English
- Danish
- Dutch
- Italian
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- Swedish
- Finnish
- Norwegian
- Polish

If you’re using the Business Central Web client, when you press the Alt key, the following becomes available:
- Key tips are revealed alongside UI elements to indicate the next keystroke.
- Sequences of keystrokes can be used to navigate the user interface and activate UI elements, without leaving your current focused element.
- Access keys are available for actions in the action bar and links in the navigation menu, regardless of whether they are assigned a specific shortcut key.
My Opinion
This is one of those seemingly small enhancements which I think will be very useful.
