Default Is there a keyboard shortcut to fill handle a large # of cells?

What content is in the cells?

Enter =B1 in A1

In namebox type A1:A12000 and ENTER

Ctrl + d to fill down.

I know if you click on a cell and wait for the black cross you can fill
handle cells by clicking and dragging, but that takes a while when we need to
fill thousands of cells. Is there a keyboard shortcut that can drag and fill
the cells faster?
