    Shortcut help

    Is there any keyboard shortcut to increase or decrease the number of decimals shown directly (I mean without having to use ctrl + 1... etc )

    I'd appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks, but it is rather tiresome having to reach for those two buttons everytime. ANy idea if there might be a keyboard shortcut?

    1) Take 2: Ctrl + Shift + 1 = adds two decimal points.
    Not really; it sets the cell to exactly two decimals.
