When typing data into multiple row, such as general journal line, you can enter the value of a field, use down arrow to go to the next record and continue typing without having to wait for the server to respond. This allows you to quickly enter multiple records.

Keyboard input is not buffered / lost in combination with slow data validation
We still face MAJOR usability / performance issues on BC 16 pages where blind / fast data entry is done.
On listparts, the user completes a field value in a given column and navigates to the next row to enter another value. Via F8 / copy paste / manual input / ... upon leaving the cell, the OnValidate code is ran, but is not yet completed, although the user is already inputting data in the next cell and navigating to the next line, resulting in loss of data.

Comments
We also receive more and more comments about the quick input of data in BC.

Dear Microsoft, we receive more and more complaints from our customers about quick data entry using F8 in BC. New lines are created but data is not copied (e.g. amount field is left empty). In Navision the input seems to be buffered when doing rapidly data entry using F8. If the user pressed 15 times F8, at the end 15 lines were created. In BC, it stops somewhere.
