1. Learn the Keyboard Shortcuts

Increase your efficiency when working with Excel by learning its keyboard shortcuts. KeyCombiner's typing trainer uses flashcard and spaced repetition techniques to facilitate keyboard shortcut learning. You can learn tens or even hundreds of keyboard shortcuts in minimal time.
We are not just saying that; read how How KeyCombiner's creator learned 50 new keyboard shortcuts in 42 minutes.

Scroll down to try out the interactive trainer with some of Excel's keyboard shortcuts right here on this page.

2. Instantly Look up Shortcuts and Commands

KeyCombiner Desktop enables you to instantly look up all shortcuts that are in your collections or lessons plus those of the currently active application.

This means, whenever you are working in Excel, you can press Meta/Cmd+Alt+C and KeyCombiner will show you Excel's keyboard shortcuts. This way, you don't need to leave your current context, and can return to work immediately afterward.

If you are interested in how this works in detail, we have written a blog post about it:
An app to show the shortcuts of the current application for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

3. Find the right Excel Shortcuts for your Workflows

KeyCombiner's collection tables can be searched, filtered, and sorted in more ways than you can imagine. In one click, you can filter by category or modifier combination, or for any key on the keyboard. Of course, there is also full text search.

We don't stop there though. KeyCombiner's collection visualizer maps all of Excel's keyboard shortcuts onto a virtual keyboard. This helps to find relationships between key bindings, or to identify free combinations, in case you like to organize your own key bindings.

By the way, we have a blog post about that, too: An Interactive Virtual Keyboard to Visualize any Collection of Shortcuts
