Mac users of Excel have struggled with the lack of alt-key shortcuts for the past 10 years. I built this app using macOS' new accessibility features to solve this. Check it out @ https://acceleratorkeys.com.

Finally found this! Alt shortcuts in Excel has been my only complaint for Macs, and with this everything is just perfect.

I cannot tell you how much time this shortcut saves. As someone in the accounting field who just recently switched to a mac this is a literal godsend. Excel work without an alt shortcut is hell and this program has saved me. Worth every penny and then some. 10/10

Finally an add-on that allows you to operate Excel on a Mac like a Windows user. Great to use, simple to administrate, a real game changer – totally worth the cost!

In short: amazing app that enabled me to finally ditch Windows entirely (finally!). AcceleratorKeys satisfies 95% of my excel-needs. It lets you use lots of shortcuts, even less often used ones (e.g. Alt H O M or Alt A G G). That said, as a shortcut heavy-user, I am still missing a handful of shortcuts (e.g. Alt A H). Even more importantly, I hope the next update makes the use more fluid - currently (v2.0.8, using on M2 Pro) I need to wait half a second after pressing the option key to use the the shortcuts. Also, when you have several excel windows open, the app sometimes doesn't work at all. Overall though, outstanding app! Thank you!!

Good way for me to use excel's keyboard shortcuts that I primarily used on Windows with the alt functionality on Mac. Makes excel on Mac super easy to use!

Incredible software! As I pursue my Finance master's degree, using this application on my Mac has been an absolute lifesaver. Special thanks also to Moses who was kind enough to provide me with a student discount!

Submit multiple tickets asking to move the license to a new machine (I don't have access to the old one) - no response; charged me another month of subscription for a product I can't use. Good job, keep it up and don't worry about chargebacks. UPDATE: Received response and refund after 6 months so I'm updating my review. The product works as described, but at this point I'm running Office on Parallels which seems more natural than native MacOS Office.

Hi Stas, sorry this was totally on me. I got busy with work and kids and really let up on the customer support front. Apologies. I've gone ahead to refund your April 2023 payment. If this is still helpful for you, I'd be happy to make sure you can get your new machine set up. Thanks for raising this.

Total gamechanger - transition to Mac would not be possible without a tool like this. Excel remains primary tool of analysis, and these shortcuts allow for fast/efficient work
