If I click the Home button in Excel 365 I get the large Ribbon.
Daunting but readable (and I need to make the effort to use it
instead of always reverting to the familiarity of the Classic menu).
But I prefer keystrokes. However if I use <Alt + H it's very
difficult to read:

Eventually I *want* to use those shortcut letters, but meanwhile I
have trouble even reading what they *do* - Catch 22!

Is there some setting I've missed here please, some way of opening up
the Ribbon at a specific tab (like Home) without those letter
shortcuts appearing on top?

Try just clicking the tab! (assumes you use the Ribbon minimized)

"But I prefer keystrokes".
So no keyboard method?

But I see that typing Esc after the Alt+H removes the clutter, so I'll
settle for that. Still quicker than the mouse.
