Excel If Function Mac The F2

If so you can delete it and there will be no more underlining of text with CONTROLU.

The F2 key is a fundamental shortcut I learned early in my Excel life.

It edits the active cell and positions the cursor at the end of the cell contents.

But wait In Excel for Mac the F2 key cuts text from the active cell.

How could they do this What were they thinking Window users are screwed when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in Excel for Mac.

If you want to edit the active cell use the keyboard shortcut CONTROLU.

Then take control of the situation and use CONTROLU to edit that cell and get on with your life.

The program you mention does quite a lot beside allowing key re-assignment for Excel.

I just wish Microsoft would recognize our frustrations and give us a simple solution to standardize function and keyboard shortcut keys.

This will let you use the F2 key in Excel without dimming your screen.

This means though you have to hit the Fn F2F3 keys to dimbrighten your screen etc.

Which then means you cant map Insert a Sheet to F10 or Insert Chart to Shift F10, which is the standard Windows Excel mapping.

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).

F2 now works like it should I finally have a proper delete key.

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.

On a Mac, this for some unknown reason seems to enter into Rename File mode normally.

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.

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.

So why would you have one usage be Command Open while the other is Enter.

Those who like to use the mouse for everything and never use keyboard shortcuts (98 of the population) are oblivious to all of this, as they should be.

Some Mac applications appear to already do forward delete with ShiftDelete, but its not consistent through the OS.

As a new SWITCHER, I really wanted to try and go fully Apple.then bought MS office for mac, so I could work with most of the people in my universethen realized how much I used F2 when in Excel.
