If only there were a keyboard shortcut for that…

Excel has a vast range of keyboard shortcuts, and there have been a few added to the list over the years.

New ones introduced include:

• Open Power Query Editor: Alt + F12 (2022)
• Paste text without formatting: Ctrl + Shift + V (2022)
• Zoom in: Ctrl + Alt + + ⏐ Zoom out: Ctrl + Alt + - (2016)
• Apply Flash Fill: Ctrl + E (2013)

However, I’m sure there’s a commonly-used feature you wish had a shortcut.

Of course, you could use VBA to assign one to it. But c’mon, who wants to do that?

I personally wish Center Across Selection had a shortcut instead of having to open the Format Cells window and pick the option in the dropdown on the Alignment tab.

Before anyone points it out — yes — you can perform the sequence Ctrl + 1 > A > Tab > C > C > Return > Return to apply the formatting to a range of cells.

However, that’s a routine — not a shortcut.

Shortcuts don’t usually involve pressing more than two or three keys simultaneously.

So, what’s a keyboard shortcut you wish existed in Excel?
