Excel keyboard shortcut

[etaleb]

v16.73 on Mac



HI there - how do I switch between different excel workbooks (not sheets). I tried Cmd. + ~ (key over Tab) but it doesn't work. Neither does Command +


I saw multiple threads and nobody has a solution. I have the same question on Outlook to i.e. how to switch between the main window and another sub-window where I'm drafting an email, etc


Thanks

@etaleb - I am on the same version of Excel and Outlook and Ventura 13.4 and Cmd + Esc (~) works for me - I use this functionality all the time. I have however noticed that Excel will sometimes not cycle around all open workbooks - this may be an issue as to how they are initially opened but I have not been able to confirm this. Personally, I have not encountered any issues using Cmd + ~ in Outlook to cycle around the main mail window and any open emails.

Figured it out - only works if you aren't full screen

Sorry one more - In Outlook or word, how do you go to the end or beginning of line? Ctrl A/E doesn't work

My Macally Mac keyboard has uparrow and downarrow keys pointing to horizontal lines in addition to the standard up and down arrows which take you to the beginning/end of the line. Here are the keycodes:

Key Up - line start

Characters: 
Unicode: 63273 / 0xf729
Keys: ↖
Key Code: 115 / 0x73
Modifiers: 8388864 / 0x800100 ⓘ

Key down - end of line
Characters: 
Unicode: 63275 / 0xf72b
Keys: ↘
Key Code: 119 / 0x77
Modifiers: 8388864 / 0x800100 ⓘ

I don’t have that keyboard and I only have the Magic Keyboard from Apple. Would you mind dumbing down your message for me and how I can use those modifiers and key codes?

One more reason not to use full screen. It tries to enforce separation of windows from each other. It always gets in the way for me in multiple ways.
