the Comparables Shortcut menu

While you are in the Comparables grid, click your right mouse button to display a menu of useful shortcuts.

If you really want to be a super-power user, use the shortcut key combinations on the right side of this menu. For example, to clone a field, click in the field you want to clone, then hold down [Alt] while you press [=].

WARNING: Some of these shortcuts have the potential to overwrite or delete information that has already been entered. There is no Undo. Be careful!

These commands perform the same actions as elsewhere in Forms. See the index of this guide if you need more information about each of these commands.

Clone Field

[Alt]+[=]

When the cursor is in the comparables grid, execute this command to add the information in your current field to the same field in all the Comps to your right.

WARNING: Any information in these fields will be overwritten.

For example, if your cursor is in the Subject’s Rooms field, this command will insert the Subject’s Rooms information into the Rooms field of all of the Comps to your right. If your cursor is in Comp 2’s Rooms field, this command will insert Comp 2’s Rooms information into the Rooms fields of Comps 3-6.

Clone Subject

[Alt]+[~]

When the cursor is in the Comparables grid, execute this command to copy all the information from the Subject Comp to all the other Comps.

For example, if your cursor is somewhere in the Subject Comp, this command will copy all the information from the Subject Comp into all of the other Comps.

WARNING: Any information in the Comps will be overwritten.

TIP: To use the shortcut key combination, [Alt]+[~], hold down the [Shift] key to type the tilde (~).

Delete Current Comp

[Ctrl]+[0]

When the cursor is in the Comparables grid, execute this command to delete all the data from your current Subject or Comp. (Your current Subject or Comp is the Comp where the cursor is positioned.)

For example, if your cursor is in the Address field of the Subject, this command deletes all data from the Subject.

TIP: To use the shortcut key combination, [Ctrl+[0], type a zero, not the letter "oh."

Copy Field from Selected Comp

=x

(where x is the
comp to copy from)

When the cursor is any field of any of the comps in the Comparables grid, execute this command to copy the field from the comp you select into the field you are in.

For example, if your cursor is in Comp 2’s Rooms field, you would type "=4" to insert Comp 4’s Rooms information into the Rooms field of Comp 2.

Copy Field from Previous Comp

[Ctrl]+[1]

When the cursor is any field of any of the comps in the comparables grid, execute this command to copy the field from the comp to the left of your current field.

For example, if your cursor is in Comp 2’s Rooms field, this command will insert Comp 1’s Rooms information into the Rooms field of Comp 2.

Clone Current Comp

[Ctrl]+[2]

When the cursor is in the Comparables grid, execute this command to copy all the information from your current Comp to all the Comps to your right. (Your current Comp is the Comp where the cursor is positioned.)

For example, if your cursor is somewhere in Comp 2, this command will copy all the information from Comp 2 into Comps 3-6. If your cursor is somewhere in Comp 2, this command will copy the information from Comp 2 into Comps 3-6.

WARNING: Any information in the Comps to the right will be overwritten.
