230+ Excel ALT Shortcuts for Google Sheets

How it works: Just hit "ALT" (or Option on Mac) and key-tips appear in the corner of your screen. Then type the same letters you would in Excel.

Beyond Key-Tips: The Excel Tools Sheets Is Missing

Trace Formulas

We figured out a way to Trace Dependents and Trace Precedents in Google Sheets using the same keyboard shortcuts as Excel. It even works across tabs and lets you return to the previous cell using F5 just like Excel. No more getting lost when auditing formulas.

Ctrl + [Ctrl + ]F5

Add/Remove Columns/Rows

No more clicking headers or struggling to remember the Google Sheets shortcut. Want to add/remove a column or row? Do it the way you're used to: Highlight the whole column or row on the first try using CTRL+SPACE or SHIFT+SPACE then add or delete the column/row using the Excel-style CTRL shortcut.

Ctrl + SpaceShift + SpaceCtrl + -Ctrl + +

Freeze Frames

Freezes frames in a single stroke rather than having to freeze the row and column separately. Google Sheets (by default) freezes panes in the down/right direction rather than up/left like Excel. We fixed that too.

Alt + W + F + F

Freeze panes in Google Sheets

TTS Macro Formatting

Used to formatting with Training the Street Macros? Those superpowers are now on Google Sheets. You're welcome. (Mac-only. PC blocks us on this feature.)

Details Matter

Within the color palette, we added an Excel-style contrast ring around the color to make it easier to see which one you're selecting during keyboard-only navigation.

FAQ

Privacy

Your data is your data. Shortcuts run in your browser, and ShortieCuts never reads or stores the content of your Google Sheets, Slides or Docs. We keep only your account email (for your subscription) and counts of which ShortieCuts shortcuts you use.

How does the free trial work?

The 14-day free trial starts when you click "Begin 14-day Free Trial" in the extension. No credit card is needed. Pro features stop when the trial ends unless you subscribe ($7.99/month or $69.99/year).

How do I cancel, switch to yearly, or manage billing?

Open the ShortieCuts extension popup, click Settings, then click Manage next to Billing. That opens the billing portal, where you can cancel, switch plans or update your card. For billing problems, email info@shortiecuts.com.
