I use Excel for Mac (2004) at home, and Windows Excel at work. In the
Windows version, the F2 key will let me edit the contents of a cell, but
this doesn't work in the Mac version. Is there an equivalent key (and no, I
don't want to use the mouse) that will let me edit within a cell?

Also, is there a list of what each function key does in the Mac version?

Thank you,


Control-U is "F2" for the Mac, but...

It is possible to create your own choice of keyboard shortcuts, so if
you wanted shift-control-apple-comma, or some other bizarre
combination, you could have that instead.

Open help and search for keyboard shortcut for a list of different
(default) key commands.
