Default Data Validation - Restrict entry but without dropdown

I found the following question and helpfull result however I also would like
to not worry about the drop down in the cell. They are very narrow columns
and they just are unnecessary for only two options.

I just want my cells to only accept R or C - I have done this as suggested
below but dont really want the drop down list.

Select the impacted cells
DataData Validation
Allow: List
Source: F,H
Click [OK]

Does that help?
