There is no shortcut key for this. You can assign the following macro to a
shortcut key. Change the '2' to the item number in the list you want to
activate.

Application.CommandBars("AutoCalculate").Controls( 2).Execute

Would like to activate the status bar via shortcut keys and then toggle
through the sum, count, average, etc... options. How can I avoid the
right-click action.
