Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 Move next Line when Enter (Page List)

in NAV/Navision Classic Client
Is there a way to move to next record in a page list when pressing Enter Key ? Usually the regular behavior is to move to next field.
The use wants to move to next field when pressing TAB (by design it's this way) and to next Line when pressing Enter.

Any idea

    Hi,

    I cannot think of a Navision way to do this. NAV 2009 is not Microsoft Excel.
    In NAV 2015 you could try with addins for each field...

    Good luck when you tell them the arrow down key is close to the Enter key. :)

    On the page list set QuickEntry to FALSE for all fields except the first field. That way you can Enter to goto next record.

    Thanks Duikmeester for your reply but actually the NAV 2009 R2 does not include QuickEntry which was introduced starting the NAV 2013.

    Thanks Peter for your reply. I totally agree that NAV is not Microsoft Excel but honestly the users are mostly used to use Enter when entering Data and their request is little bit logic but seems cannot be solved in Dynamics NAV 2009 R2.
    I'm trying to convince them with the arrow down as you suggested.

    Hi Mohamad,

    not sure if this works in 2009 R2 (RTC), but could you try to use Alt/AltGr+Enter? This should move to the first field in the next line.
    Cheers

    thanks SilverX. My reason behind posting this subject is to find a way to move to next line for same field when pressing Enter.
    I have convince the customer at this stage to use Arrow Down as Peter suggested and it's acceptable until today but it will surely be great to find a way to move to next line when pressing enter.
