Joe Alioto (ID: 000000a3eb7e0c7a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/26/2023 Shortiecuts rocks. It's the only extension I've found that enables alt+key shortcuts found in Excel in Google Sheets. Anyone with some financial modeling background who uses Google Sheets should be more than happy to pay the monthly subscription.
