go to - special - visible cells only - takes too many key strokes
 

I am aware that I should write a macro in personal.xls but for the next
version of excel please put the function: "edit - go to - special - visible
cells only" somewhere more accessible.

Hi,

You could right-click a toolbar, select Customize..., select the Commands
tab, select the Edit category, scroll down to the end of the commands list.
Third from the bottom is a button to select visible cells only.
Click-and-drag that to a toolbar.

No macros required - just customizing your toolbar.

You can customize your favorite toolbar with an icon that does that for you.

Tools|Customize|Commands tab|Edit category
Look for select visible cells
and drag to your favorite toolbar.

Select your bigger range and then click that button!
