Unfortunately F8 (or Ctrl+R) didn't make it in NAV 2009 - but there has been some confusion as to whether we could get it in.
It is definitely something we are looking into adding as soon as possible - probably in a SP or like.

It would be a HUGE thing to have it, and to have it as a single key. F8 is probably one of the most used key in heavy data entry.
Arrow down, F8, arrow down, F8, etc. is MUCH MUCH easier than arrow down, Ctrl+r, arrow down, Ctrl+R. It is much MUCH slower, and it is very prone to errors because when you do Ctrl+arrow down you move to another part of the form, or when you arrow down, forget to press Ctrl, you replace a field value with 'R'. Single key please [-o<
The lack of attention to heavy data entry peoples' need for easy keyboard navigation is one of the things that I am very disappointed in with the RTC. I am concerned that heavy data entry is going to be too difficult. I know that users will find a way to use the system, and I might be a bit too pessimistic, so let's hope I'm wrong
