If you’re using Windows 7, you may have heard of or seen a feature which is new to Windows 7, called “jump lists.” These handy little shortcuts allow you to right-click on any program’s icon in the task bar and perform certain functions. (They also give you similar shortcuts if the icon is on your start menu.)
Here at TurboLaw, we like shortcuts – anything to save time and require fewer clicks to get things done – so for the next version of TurboLaw Time and Billing (due out this month), we’ve added support for Windows 7 jump lists!
With this new version, if you are using TurboLaw Time and Billing and Windows 7, you will be able to access these handy shortcuts for showing the stopwatch, entering a new client, entering time, entering expenses, or performing a search – even if you don’t have the program open!
Our (anecdotal and totally unscientific) research suggests that many of you are using Windows 7 – either because you’ve upgraded, or because you got a new computer that came with it. If you are, then you’ll be able to use these handy new shortcuts.
[note class=”info”]Not using Windows 7? Don’t worry – we haven’t forgotten about you. You can still access the same shortcuts by right-clicking the TurboLaw Time and Billing icon which appears in the notification area, next to the clock in the bottom-right of your task bar.[/note]
We hope you find these new features and shortcuts helpful, and as always, we welcome your feedback!
