    Shortcut to follow formula (CTRL+SHIFT+[ ) - Different keyboard layout (Excel 2007)

    Hi,


    I'm from Belgium, and we use a different keyboard layout.
    Due to this the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ [ and CTRL+SHIFT+ ] won't work.

    Does anyone happen to have a solution for this?

    I couldn't find the equivalent hotkey for my keyboard layout (AZERTY) online;
    I've tried using autohotkey to send the CTRL+SHIFT+[ combination to excel, but to no avail;
    Is there perhaps a possibility to use a macro that gives me the same effect?

    Thanks in advance,
    M

    ctrl+shift [ is actually ctrl { shift just selects the other character on qwerty the { is on the same key as [
    on your keyboard the { should be on the 9 and the } on the 0 to select those you need alt gr
    so i suppose the shortcut is ctrl+alt gr 9/0

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick responses already, but I'm not yet there I'm afraid:

    @martindwilson - That does help me forward - However, using your suggestion, or letting autohotkey put in CTRL{ doesn't work
    @ ARGK - Checked their Mac solutions - Couldn't do anything usefull with it :-( (I'm on Windows Vista btw)

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue than yours.
    I'm trying to get the excel shortcut for the French version (AZERTY keyboard) of Office 10 of CTRL+SHIFT+[
    Do you finally find the equivalent?

    Thanks in advance,
