How Many Types Of Excel Shortcuts Are There?

Excel shortcuts come in eight basic flavors (there are more but these are the main ones):

  1. Ctrl shortcuts (which use the Ctrl key)
  2. Shift shortcuts (which use the Shift key)
  3. Ctrl+Shift shortcuts (which use the Ctrl and Shift keys together)
  4. Alt shortcuts (which use the Alt key)
  5. F-key shortcuts (which use the F-keys)
  6. QAT shortcuts (which use the Quick Access Toolbar)
  7. Mouse shortcuts (which use the right-click menu)
  8. Hybrid shortcuts (which use both the mouse (typically right-clicking) and the keyboard)

Below, I’ll go through each type of shortcut briefly, with a few examples of each.
