I'm on a Macbook Pro, working quite a lot in Google Sheets. I've deactivated the F-keys (so it's not an option to use F2). I can't find a shortcut for editing a cell with text in it. If it's an empty cell I can just start typing. But if I want to edit a cell with content in it, I can't seem to find a way to do it. I've tried these:
fn-F2 is not an option.
I don't want to use the mouse (double-click on a cell to edit)...It's so clumsy and slow.
You can just press the Enter key and it should start editing your current cell.
F2 seemed like a cumbersome keyboard shortcut for such a basic thing as editing a cell, so I was really relieved when I finally realised that just pressing Enter works too.
In the hope of avoiding disappointment should anyone happen on this expecting a more comprehensive answer, the editing shortcut keys for a Mac are listed at M+ Google/Archive:
Action Shortcut Undo ⌘+Z Insert time ⌘+Shift+: Insert date ⌘+; Fill range ⌘+Enter Fill down ⌘+D Fill right ⌘+R Insert/edit comment Shift+F2 Redo ⌘+Y Edit a cell Fn+F2 Ignore changes Escape Details should also be accessible through the Help menu (image from a Windows system):
Wups... I can see, that when I press the FN, then the F-keys are actually showed in the touch-bar.
So FN+F2 is actually an option. However... I improved it, but mapping CTRL+U to FN+F2 using BetterTouchTool (really easy to setup these shortcuts in there).
