Unobtrusive convenience

Accelerator Keys runs quietly in your menu-bar. When Excel is open, the app watches for keystrokes, and uses the Accessibility API to display hotkeys and control Excel.

Why we built this

Mac users of Excel have struggled with the lack of alt-key shortcuts for the past 10 years with only painful workarounds available (see Reddit and Microsoft's forum).

macOS's increased support for accessibility features recently enabled a new way to control Mac Excel. Mac users can now use alt-key shortcuts without spending a lot or inconvenient setups. Give it a try!

Issues with current workarounds

  • Bootcamp: Inconvenient to switch between Windows and Mac partitions, when most of our apps are on the Mac partition. Read-only access to Mac files from Windows partition without paid third-party software. Requires an additional Office license (US$150 per year).
  • Running a VM (e.g. Parallels): Laggy and consumes a lot of CPU. Some keyboard shortcuts still don't work properly. And this isn't cheap — Parallels costs US$80/year, and you need additional Windows and Office licenses.
  • Buying a separate PC: Technically this works…but surely we can do better than buying a new computer?

How to Use Alt Shortcuts on Mac for Excel

Mac users have always struggled to use Windows-style Alt key shortcuts in Excel. Here's how Accelerator Keys solves this problem.

  1. Understand the Option Key: On a Mac keyboard, the Option key (⌥) is in the same position as the Alt key on Windows. While macOS doesn't natively support Excel's Alt-key ribbon shortcuts, Accelerator Keys bridges this gap by intercepting Option key presses and translating them into the ribbon commands you know from Windows.
  2. Install Accelerator Keys: Download Accelerator Keys and follow the simple setup wizard. The app needs accessibility permissions to detect keystrokes and control Excel—this takes just a few clicks to configure.
  3. Use Your Windows Shortcuts: Once installed, open Excel and press the Option key. You'll see the familiar ribbon navigation letters appear, just like in Windows. Type the same key sequence you use on Windows (like H, V, V for Paste Values) to execute the command.

Example: To paste values on Mac Excel, press Option → H → V → V — the same as Alt + H V V on Windows.
