Keyboard and shortcut keys
Monex was designed to suit both:
- the not so experienced user, who will probably most of his time use the mouse
- and the experienced user who would like to do his tasks without the mouse (and somehow this is still faster)
So all major repetitive actions can be performed without the mouse.
