Excel Shortcut Trainer
10 tasks, one live sheet, your real keyboard. Do each task with a shortcut as fast as you can. Show the keys if you're stuck.
Click Start, then keep your hands on the keyboard. The sheet is already focused.
The trainer needs a physical keyboard. On a phone, use the cheat sheet instead.
Frequently asked questions
How does the shortcut trainer work?
Each round gives you 10 tasks on a live sheet. Press the real Excel keys; the task completes when the sheet looks right, so any correct method counts.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. Switch to Mac and the trainer asks for Mac keys. Tasks with no default Mac shortcut, like Merge & Center, are left out.
Why are some shortcuts missing?
Browsers keep a few keys for themselves, such as Ctrl+PageDown and F12, so those can't be practised in a web page.
Do I earn points?
Yes. Each shortcut earns leaderboard points once a day, more for speed and half if you show the keys.
