Default What is the key shortcut for absolute cell reference?

When selecting a cell to enter into a formula, there is a key or key
combination that will automatically make the cell an absolute cell reference
when you point-and-click. You can also highlight the cell reference in the
formula and use the shortcut to make it an absolute cell reference. This
saves typing the "$" sign. Help! I can't remember it.

F4 will cycle you through the options.

eg:
Type A2 -- A2
F4 -- $A$2
F4 -- $A2
F4 -- A$2
F4 -- A2

(The order might be different for the two half-absolutes)
