I stumbled across a cool little feature in Moneydance 2007 recently. It may be in early versions, but this is the first version I've seen it.
When entering transactions when you enter the date I'd been typing the whole date or using the arrow keys to edit the date. I found out if you enter the month and date such as 2/25 it will auto-fill the year. If you just put the date, it will fill in the current month and year. So if you just type 25 right now (February 25, 2007) you'll get 2/25/2007.

In addition you can type M or H to go to the first or last days in a month. Same goes for Y/R for year. Pressing the T key takes you to the current date.
You can also use the +/- keys to spin the date backwards and forwards.
Another shortcut is that you can enter any math expression into just about any amount or price/rate field, including parentheses, and when the cursor leaves the field the expression will be evaluated and the result placed in the field.
Finally, putting a currency ID after an amount in any amount field will convert the amount from the currency with that ID to the currency of the amount field. For example, entering "1 USD" will be converted to about 2 when entered in a GBP field (at the current rate).
Thanks Sean! I learn something new every day. I knew you could do math in price fields, but the rest of your tips are news to me.
