So why would you have one usage be Command Open while the other is Enter. In this dialog, you dont hit Command-O to select the file you want to open you hit Enter (or double click for those who dont like to use the keyboard, but then, this thread shouldnt be of any interest to you in the first place) to open the file. When you try to open a file with the context of an application like Word, Excel, or any other application, the application will pop open an instance of the File Chooser dialog box, which is actually just another view of Finder. On a Mac, this for some unknown reason seems to enter into Rename File mode normally. Several nice things that have eased my frustration with a must-use-a-mouse Mac (didnt they ever think of users who like using a keyboard): open files in the Finder when you hit Enter, rather than the retarded Command-O. I understand to increase their sales, MS has to keep mucking with their Office Suite, but they do it at the expense of everyone else whos bought it up to that point).į2 now works like it should I finally have a proper delete key. Ive got all of that junk turned off permanently, although in Redmonds Apple-esque wisdom, there is a lot of functionality in the Ribbon that isnt available in the pulldown menus. This means though you have to hit the Fn F2F3 keys to dimbrighten your screen etc. This will let you use the F2 key in Excel without dimming your screen. I just wish Microsoft would recognize our frustrations and give us a simple solution to standardize function and keyboard shortcut keys. The program you mention does quite a lot beside allowing key re-assignment for Excel. Then take control of the situation and use CONTROLU to edit that cell and get on with your life. If you want to edit the active cell use the keyboard shortcut CONTROLU. How could they do this What were they thinking Window users are screwed when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in Excel for Mac. It edits the active cell and positions the cursor at the end of the cell contents.īut wait In Excel for Mac the F2 key cuts text from the active cell. The F2 key is a fundamental shortcut I learned early in my Excel life. The main gripe I have is that keyboard shortcuts should be the same in every version of Excel, yet the Windows and Mac worlds are light-years apart. If so you can delete it and there will be no more underlining of text with CONTROLU.
