Keyboard Navigation

The keyboard navigation of the Spreadsheet is always available.

The Spreadsheet consists of standalone components that have their own keyboard navigation shortcuts. Once their wrapper is focused, their own keyboard shortcuts are applied.

Shortcuts applicable to the content of the Spreadsheet.

SHORTCUTDESCRIPTION
Ctrl + YRepeats the last action if possible by using the Redo command.
Ctrl + ZReverses the last action if possible by using the Undo command.

The Spreadsheet supports the following selection shortcuts:

SHORTCUTDESCRIPTION
Ctrl + ASelects the whole worksheet.
Shift + Arrow KeysSelects a range of adjacent cells, rows or columns by extending the selection by one cell, row or column.
Ctrl + Shift + EndIn cell selection mode, extends the selection of cells to the last cell on the worksheet located in bottom-right corner. In the formula bar, selects all text in the formula bar from the cursor position to the end.
Ctrl + Shift + HomeExtends the selection of cells to the beginning (the top-left cell) of the worksheet. In the formula bar, selects all text in the formula bar from the cursor position to the beginning of the input.
