It's very common in Excel that you go to hit F2 to edit a formula, and you
accidentally hit F1 which opens up that silly sidebar. You are then forced
to switch to mouse to close it. Is there a keystroke to close that help
window?

Alt-F4, of course. It's the standard Windows "close program" key
combination.

And yes, I checked it before posting. It closes the help window but
not Excel.
