Dropdown selection by keyboard
Hi All,
I have generated several dropdown list through datavalidation. Some of my coworkers need to select the appropriate selection. However, some indicated me that they prefer to use keyboard, such as using tab key, or arrow keys to select the item from dropdown list. They indicated, currently, they end up trying to aim the mouse pointer to the dropdown arrow on the cell and they want to avoid this. Is this somehow possible? Thanks in advance |

Dropdown selection by keyboard
Once the cell has focus, either Alt+{Down Arrow} or Alt+{Up Arrow} will drop the list down, then a selection can be made by using the Up/Down Arrow followed by the Enter key.
