Which keyboard shortcut deletes a selected entry from a list in QuickBooks?

• A. Delete key
• B. Ctrl+N
• C. Ctrl+E
• D. Ctrl+D

Answer: (D)

In QuickBooks, removing a selected item from a list is triggered by a keyboard shortcut that directly invokes the delete action on the highlighted record. The correct shortcut is Ctrl+D. This combination is the built-in command QuickBooks uses to delete the chosen entry, which helps prevent accidental removals because you must press a modifier key along with D. The plain Delete key often doesn’t perform the delete action in lists across QuickBooks, so Ctrl+D is the reliable way to remove the selected item. Other common shortcuts are used for creating new records or editing existing ones, which do not delete the item.
