Moving with the keyboard

Moving around with the keyboard

What you’ll do

Reaching for the mouse is slow. The arrow keys move one cell at a time, and Enter and Tab move you on, the way they do after you type in a cell.

Your turn

Step 1 of 4
  1. 1
    Click inside the sheet, then use the arrow keys to get to E2.
  2. 2
    Press Enter to move down one cell.
  3. 3
    Press Tab to move one cell right.
  4. 4
    Add Shift to go back: Shift+Enter moves up and Shift+Tab moves left. Try either one.

Click the sheet first so it gets your key presses.
