Default Keyboard shortcuts


Two questions. Does anyone know how to get into the formula bar to edit
a formula without using the mouse. Is there a keyboard shortcut to
enter the formula bar to start editing the contents? Second question.
Does anyone know the Mac shortcut for the above?

Default Keyboard shortcuts

By default: CTRL-u

But in MacXL, you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts, so you can
make it nearly anything you want (Tools/Customize/Customize Keyboard...).

Hi Greka,

on PC's the keyboard shortcut is F2, the excel default is edit directly on
the cell, but you can change it on Tools | options | Edit and unchek the box

It's amazing. After spending half a day pressing all the possible key
combinations (or so I thought) and reading through no end of help
screens I got nowhere. But now it is sorted.

Thanks again

That is amazing

When I select help and "keyboard shortcuts" I get a list of all shortcut keys in
Excel.

Under "Edit Data" is the F2 key.
