[Survey] Which shortcut do you use the most ?

The future of Excel is Excel WebApp.

Excel WebApp is simply an Excel workbook embedded in a browser. It is with this technology that you can make all the exercises in this site. The technology is new and a lot of things must be developped. One of them are the keyboard shortcuts.

When you make the exercises of this site, you’ve seen the classic Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V work fine. But if you want to lock a reference with F4, this shortcut doesn’t work. For the moment, only these shortcuts work with Excel WebApp

This is why Microsoft makes a survey to know what is your most favorite shortcuts :)
