Main Excel keyboard shortcuts as well as Excel mouse sheortcuts
This is the summary page where you will find the main
Excel keyboard and mouse shortcuts. On this
other page, you will find ALL the Excel keyboard and mouse Shortcut.
A keyboard shortcut is a way of doing one thing in a simpler way.
Instead of moving your mouse and clicking 2 or 3 times, you
can do the same by just a simple key combination on the keyboard. This is
called a shortcut. Here some
of them.
For example, if you want to duplicate an object, there is
the long way which is:
-
first selecting the object,
-
moving your mouse to the copy
button
-
then moving your mouse to the position or page where you want to have
the duplicate,
-
then move your mouse to the paste or duplicate button.
The short way would be to select the object, press CTRL-C,
move to the position where you want the object, press CTRL-V. Done in half
the time.
