It would be very useful to have hot keys within reports wizard
For instance the pupils first name could be set to '#' making writing comments easier for the teacher

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your suggestion.
We are looking at ways to make report writing easier for teachers within the system, however introducing a collection of hot keys is more likely to causes more issues then it resolves.
There are a number of reasons why we couldn't introduce this unfortunately, the biggest of which would be; our system is used across the globe, so setting a specific key to be a hot key in one country that isn't used often, could result in issues in another country where it is used.
Along with this, having a collection of hot keys, would require users learning how they all work and as such is likely to result in them being used incorrectly (especially during the early phases), which would then result in wrong reports going out.
We are looking at a number of options for making this easier in the future, so please follow our announcements for any developments.
