- This is taken from Appendix B. Keybinding Reference of the Gnumeric Windows manual.
- Pinephone users have to check themselves if these are available as well on their Pinephone.
- This appendix lists the keyboard shortcuts which are defined by default in Gnumeric.
- Keybindings are combinations of keystrokes which tell an application to run a task.
- These can greatly speed-up the user’s interactions with an application. Some of the most common ones are Ctrl+s to save a file or Ctrl+q to quit the application.
- Gnumeric also comes with keybindings to make your spreadsheet experience faster.
- Normally, keybindings are next to a command in a menu.
- For example, if Save has Ctrl+s next to it, that means that Ctrl+s can be typed at the same time to save your file.
- However, some keystrokes aren’t listed in the menus. They are as follows:
F2 sets the current cell for editing.
The cursor is inserted at the end of the current text.
Ctrl-O opens the Load file dialog window.
Ctrl-F3 opens the Define Name dialog window.
