Default editing cells without using mouse


Hi,

I try to use the mouse as little as possible, and I can navigate in the
spreadsheets just fine with the arrows on the keyboard, but I haven't
found a way to edit a cell, e.g. insert some $-signs in a long formula,
without mouseclicking the formula-bar above the sheet. I can type in the
whole formula once more using only the keyboard of course, but that is
not a very simple way to go if the formula is long and hard to
remember.

Anyone know how to edit the contents of a cell using only the
keyboard?

Thomas F
