The Shortcut Editor provides the following fields:

• Command: The type of entry to create when the shortcut is executed. One of: Fuel, Expense, or Trip.
• Default Values: Initial values for the new entry.
• Vehicle: Vehicle for the new entry. If no vehicle is selected, Road Trip will prompt you to select a vehicle when the Shortcut is executed.
