Reference: Worksheets Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are intended for use with US English keyboards. Results might vary with different keyboard layouts.
In addition to standard keyboard shortcuts, we provide access to Worksheets functionality using a user interface overlay of action keys typically referred to as KeyTips. You enable KeyTips by pressing the Alt key on Windows or Option on Mac. After you press Alt or Option, small icons depicting keyboard keys are overlaid in the workbook. Press a key to do the displayed action.

Edit

A double asterisk (**) in a cell indicates that the default Mac OS key assignment conflicts with this shortcut. To change your settings, select
